Romanian borrowed "exterior" from Latin exterior, itself the comparative form of exter, meaning "outward" or "situated outside". The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a large wave of Latin and French borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary. It kept its Latin comparative shape unchanged, unlike native Romanian words that evolved through centuries of sound change.
