Etymology
Romanian borrowed "absolut" from French "absolu", itself from Latin "absolutus", the past participle of "absolvere", to set free or complete. The Latin verb combines "ab-" (away) with "solvere" (to loosen). This entered Romanian during the 19th-century wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary.
