Etymology
Romanian borrowed "legal" from French "légal", which traces back to Latin "legalis", an adjective built on "lex, legis" (law). The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin-based vocabulary that modernized legal and administrative terminology. It sits alongside the older native word "lege" (law), which comes from the same Latin root.
