Etymology
Romanian borrowed "final" from French "final" and Latin "finalis" during the 19th-century wave of Romance relatinization, when many everyday Romanian words of Slavic or Turkish origin were replaced or supplemented by French- and Latin-based terms. "Finalis" itself derives from Latin "finis", meaning end or boundary. The word entered Romanian as both a noun (the end, the ending) and an adjective (last, concluding).
