Etymology
Romanian borrowed "confort" from French "confort" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French loanwords that entered the language during that period. The French word traces back to Old French "conforter", meaning to strengthen or console, which comes from Latin "confortare": the prefix "con-" (together, thoroughly) plus "fortis" (strong). So the word originally carried a sense of fortifying someone, before narrowing to its modern meaning of physical ease and well-being.
