Etymology
Romanian borrowed "junior" directly from French and English in the modern era, both of which took it from Latin "iunior", the comparative form of "iuvenis" (young). The word entered Romanian mainly through sports terminology and later spread to business and professional contexts. It kept its original spelling and largely its original meaning, unlike older Latin-derived Romanian vocabulary that evolved through Vulgar Latin.
