fantasticfantastically, amazingly (as an intensifier)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "fantastic" from French "fantastique" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. The French word traces to Late Latin "phantasticus," from Greek "phantastikos," meaning able to create mental images. That Greek word comes from "phantazein," to make visible or present to the mind, itself from "phainein," to show or appear.
