Etymology
Dumnezeu comes from the Latin liturgical phrase Domine Deus, meaning O Lord God, spoken in prayer. Over centuries, Vulgar Latin speakers in the Balkans fused the two words into one. The first part preserves domine, lord, and the second preserves deus, god, the same root that gave French Dieu and Italian Dio.
