Etymology
Romanian borrowed "constant" from French "constant", which comes from Latin "constans, constantis", the present participle of "constare", meaning to stand firm together. The Latin verb is built from "con-" (together, thoroughly) and "stare" (to stand). The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the vocabulary.
