Etymology
Romanian borrowed "arhivă" from French "archives", which traces back to Greek "arkheion", meaning a public building or government record office. That Greek noun comes from "arkhē", meaning rule or government, tied to the verb "arkhein", to be first or to rule. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latinate vocabulary that modernized administrative language.
