Etymology
Arabic borrowed this word from European languages, most likely French romantique or English romantic, during the modern era. The base noun رومانس (romance) traces back through French to Latin Romanicus, meaning in the Roman manner. Arabic then added the native nisba suffix ـيّ, which turns a noun into a relational adjective.
