cofleși

Romanian

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin root *conflexīre, from Latin flexus. Alternatively, an expressive formation from an earlier coflești < cofleșci, formed from fleșcăi with an expressive prefix co- (as in cocârja, copleși, cotropi, etc.) The least likely etymology proposed is a Vulgar Latin confracescere, which is impossible from a phonetic point of view[1].

Verb

a cofleși (third-person singular present cofleșește, past participle cofleșit) 4th conj.

  1. (popular) (of fruits) to soften, go bad
