Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ceremonie" from French "cérémonie" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary in the 19th century. The French word descends from Latin "caerimonia", meaning sanctity or a religious rite. The deeper origin of the Latin word is disputed among scholars, so no secure root beyond Latin can be given.
