Etymology
Imagine entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of Latin and French borrowings that modernized the language. It comes from Latin imago, imaginis, meaning likeness or picture, likely by way of French image. The word replaced or supplemented older Romanian terms for visual representation as scholars pushed to align Romanian vocabulary with its Romance relatives.
