Etymology
Romanian "cord" is a learned borrowing from Latin "cor, cordis" (heart), brought into the language during the modern period as scientific and medical vocabulary. It exists alongside the older, everyday word "inimă", which covers emotional and poetic senses of heart. This split leaves Romanian with two words for one organ: "inimă" for daily speech and feeling, "cord" for clinical and anatomical contexts.
