Etymology
Romanian borrowed "idee" from French "idée" in the nineteenth century, during a wave of French-influenced modernization of the language. French "idée" in turn descends from Latin "idea", which came from Greek "idea" (ἰδέα), meaning form or appearance. The Greek word derives from "idein", to see, tying the concept of an idea to the act of mental vision.
