Etymology
Istoric entered Romanian through French historique, itself from Latin historicus and ultimately Greek historikos. The Greek root traces to historia, meaning inquiry or knowledge gained by inquiry, from histor, one who knows. Romanian kept both the adjective sense (pertaining to history) and, separately, a neuter noun sense (a record or log), the latter now common in medical and technical contexts.
