pozăphoto, picture (informal)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "fotografie" from French "photographie" in the nineteenth century, as part of a broader wave of French loanwords tied to modern science and technology. The French word was itself built from Greek elements: "phos/photos" (light) and "graphein" (to write or draw). The literal sense is close to "writing with light," a phrase that also circulated when the technology was first described in the 1830s.
