Etymology
Clasă entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. It traces back to Latin classis, which originally meant a division of Roman citizens or a fleet of ships, and later came to mean any grouped category. The word spread through most of Europe with this same core sense of an ordered grouping.
