Etymology
"Vorbit" is the past participle of "a vorbi" (to speak, to talk). The verb is built on the noun "vorbă" (word, talk), which Romanian inherited from a Slavic source; scholars disagree on the exact donor language, so no single Proto-Slavic form can be stated with confidence. The participle suffix "-it" is the regular ending for verbs whose infinitive ends in "-i".
