Etymology
Romanian "galaxie" came through French "galaxie" in the modern era, as astronomy terms entered Romanian via French and Latin. The French word traces to Greek "galaxias" (γαλαξίας), short for "galaxias kyklos", the "milky circle". That name described the pale band of the Milky Way visible across the night sky, from Greek "gala", "galaktos", meaning milk.
