Romanian borrowed "fantezie" from French "fantaisie" in the 19th century, during the wave of French loanwords that reshaped modern Romanian vocabulary. The French word itself descends from Greek "phantasia" (φαντασία), meaning appearance or the power of imagination, from the verb "phantazein," to make visible or present to the mind. That verb is built on "phainein," to show or bring to light.
