As you can see, many more derivations in Hung.

What should I say? If wise guys say it is borrowed
from them neighbors, it might be.

It might OTOH have been that it became popular
in Romanian while/because vb. "a păsa, păsare" +
"păs" and vb. "a cugeta, cugetare" + subst. "cuget"
narrowed their scope and/or went through semantic
mutation...
