Etymology
Frontieră entered Romanian from French frontière, a formal, administrative term for a state border. French frontière itself derives from front (front, forehead), tracing back to Latin frons, frontis. The word arrived in Romanian as part of the 19th-century wave of French borrowings that gave the language much of its modern political and administrative vocabulary.
