Etymology
Romanian borrowed "jurnal" from French "journal" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped modern Romanian vocabulary. The French word descends from Late Latin "diurnalis", meaning daily, itself from "diurnus" (of the day) and ultimately "dies" (day). The core idea, a record kept day by day, still defines the word's main senses in Romanian: a personal diary and a daily news bulletin.
