Etymology
Romanian took "festival" from French in the modern era, as part of a wave of 19th and 20th century borrowings that reshaped Romanian vocabulary toward Western Romance models. French itself had adopted the word from English "festival", which goes back to the Old French adjective "festival", meaning of a feast. That adjective descends from Latin "festivus" (festive, joyous), built on "festum" (feast, holiday).
