Etymology
Engleză is the feminine form of the adjective englez, which names people and things from England. The word traces back to the Latin Anglus, denoting the Angles, the Germanic tribe whose name also gave English its own name. Romanian likely absorbed the term through French anglais or Italian inglese rather than directly from Latin.
