Etymology
Depresie entered Romanian in the 19th century from French dépression, part of a wave of French loanwords that modernized Romanian vocabulary. French dépression traces back to Latin depressio, a noun built on deprimere, meaning to press down, from de- (down) and premere (to press). The Romanian ending -ie replaced the French -ion, the usual pattern for adapting this class of borrowed nouns.
