Etymology
Romanian borrowed "element" from French "élément" during the nineteenth-century push to re-Latinize the language. The French word itself comes from Latin "elementum", meaning a first principle or basic constituent part. The ultimate origin of the Latin word is disputed among scholars, so no secure deeper root can be traced.
