Etymology
Romanian borrowed fermier from French fermier in the nineteenth century, as part of a wider wave of French loanwords that reshaped modern Romanian vocabulary. French fermier itself derives from ferme, meaning a farm held under lease, which traces to Late Latin firma, a fixed payment or contract. The underlying idea is not the land itself but the fixed agreement to work and pay for it.
