Etymology

Extrem entered Romanian from French extrême, itself from Latin extremus, the irregular superlative of exterus, "outer". The word originally meant "outermost" or "farthest", and it kept that sense of a far edge or limit as it passed into Romanian alongside other Latinate and French borrowings in the 19th century.
