Etymology

The origin of "ușor" is not firmly settled. Romanian dictionaries generally list it as a word of uncertain origin, inherited rather than borrowed, and it does not trace cleanly to a known Latin source. Because the root cannot be confirmed with confidence, no reliable Indo-European root or cognate set can be given here.
