Etymology
Excursie entered Romanian from French excursion, which traces back to Latin excursio, excursionis, meaning a running out or a sally. The Latin noun comes from the verb excurrere, built from ex- (out) and currere (to run). The word first described a military sortie before it settled into its modern sense of a pleasure trip.
