Etymology
Divin entered Romanian through French divin and learned Latin divinus, both going back to Latin divus, meaning god or deity. Divus itself is tied to deus, the Latin word for god. Romanian absorbed the word during its 19th century wave of re-Latinization and French borrowing, alongside many other abstract and learned terms.
