Etymology
Erou entered Romanian from French héros, itself descended from Latin heros, borrowed from Greek hērōs. The Greek word originally denoted a warrior or demigod of legend, later broadening to any figure of great courage or achievement. Romanian kept the French pronunciation pattern and adapted the spelling.
