Romanian borrowed ciclu from French cycle in the nineteenth century, as part of a wave of French and Latin loans that modernized Romanian vocabulary. The French word goes back to Latin cyclus, itself from Greek kyklos, meaning circle or wheel. The Greek term ultimately traces to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to turn or revolve.
