Etymology
Romanian borrowed "emoție" from French "émotion" in the nineteenth century, during a period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language on French and Latin models. The French word traces to Latin "emovere", meaning to move out or stir up, built from the prefix "ex-" (out) and "movere" (to move). The core idea is a feeling that stirs and moves a person, much like the English word "emotion" from the same root.
