Etymology
Furie entered Romanian through French "furie", which in turn came from Latin "furia" (rage, madness), tied to the verb "furere", to rage or be mad. The word joined the mass of French-derived vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian in the 19th century. It sits alongside the older, Latin-inherited "mânie" (anger), giving Romanian two words for anger with different registers.
