gaygayEtymology
The word traces back to Lesbos, the Greek island home of the poet Sappho, whose verses about love among women gave the island's name its later sense. French took the adjective lesbienne from this root, and Romanian borrowed the word from French in the modern era, adapting it with the native adjective ending -iană. The feminine form lesbiană pairs with the masculine lesbian.
