Etymology
Frunte descends from Latin frontem, the accusative form of frons, meaning forehead or front part. The word passed down through spoken Latin into Romanian with regular sound changes, keeping both its literal sense and its extended sense of "the front" or "the leading position." The same Latin root gave related words in the other Romance languages.
