Abstract: | The origin of the Romanian word “ghiftuire”, meaning “stuffing oneself with food up to the brink of nausea” is considered to be the German word “[Ver]giftung”, meaning “intoxication”. Also, the origin of “ghiftui” is the german word “[ver]giften”. The etymon for the word “zvecui” (a word used by a shoemakers meaning, “to stretch the leather on the shoe last”) is considered to be the German “zwecken”, which has the meaning “to stretch (leather) fixing with small nails”. |
