Atribuiri is a Romanian noun in its plural form, commonly used to denote the acts or results of attribution—namely the assignment of properties, responsibilities, rights, or origins to someone or something. The base form atribuire refers to the process or act of attributing, while atribuiri expresses multiple instances or types of such attributions.

Etymology and sense
