Etymology
Explozibil entered Romanian in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French-derived vocabulary that modernized the language. It comes from French explosible, itself built on the Latin verb explodere, to drive out by clapping or hissing off a stage. Over time the Latin verb shifted from a theatrical sense to the modern sense of a sudden violent burst.
