Etymology
Romanian borrowed "global" from French "global" in the 19th or early 20th century, as the country modernized its vocabulary along French lines. The French word traces to Latin "globus", meaning ball or sphere, with the adjectival suffix "-al" attached. The core sense shifted from "shaped like a ball" to "taken as a whole" and then to "worldwide".
