The word entered Romanian from French "extraordinaire", which traces to Latin "extraordinarius". That Latin word breaks down as "extra" (outside, beyond) plus "ordinarius" (ordinary, regular), itself from "ordo" (order, rank). So the core sense is something that falls outside the normal order of things.
