Etymology
Romanian borrowed "criză" from French "crise" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French loanwords that modernized Romanian vocabulary. French "crise" traces back through Latin "crisis" to Greek "krisis" (κρίσις), meaning judgment or decisive turning point in a disease. The Greek root also gave rise to the idea of a critical moment where a decision must be made.
