Forță entered Romanian as a modern borrowing from French force, part of the wave of French and Latin-based vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. French force itself descends from Late Latin fortia, a feminine singular built from fortis, meaning strong. The word displaced or sat alongside older native terms for strength and power.
