Etymology
Romanian "in" descends from Latin "linum", meaning flax, the same source behind English "linen" and "line". The word has stayed close to its Latin form through the centuries, losing only the final syllable. Its deeper origin beyond Latin is debated among linguists, so no single Proto-Indo-European root is certain.
