Etymology

Dimineață goes back to the Latin phrase de mane, meaning roughly "from morning" or "early." Romanian kept the original sense of morning, while related Romance descendants of the same Latin phrase drifted toward "tomorrow." The word took its current shape through popular Latin speech in the region before Romanian split off as a distinct language.
