Etymology
Halloween entered Romanian as a direct, unadapted loan from English, arriving with the global spread of the holiday through American film and television in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The English word is a contraction of All Hallows' Even, the evening before All Saints' Day on November 1. Hallow comes from Old English halig, meaning holy, and e'en is a shortened form of even, meaning evening. Romanian never translated the term into native words; it simply took the English name along with the custom itself.
