Etymology
For comes from Latin forum, the public square where Romans held markets, assemblies, and trials. Romanian kept it as a learned borrowing, not as an everyday inherited word, and confined it almost entirely to the fixed phrase for interior or for lăuntric, a calque of the French for intérieur. The sense narrowed from a physical public place to an inner, private tribunal: the conscience.
