Etymology
Romanian borrowed "bravo" directly from Italian, where it started as an adjective meaning skilled, good, or brave, then became a fixed exclamation of praise. The deeper origin of the Italian word is disputed among scholars, with some tracing it to Latin "barbarus" (foreign, wild) and others to Latin "pravus" (crooked, bad), both routes involving a shift toward a positive sense. Because the earlier history is unsettled, no single root is treated as established here. In Romanian it entered as an invariable interjection, not as a full adjective.
