Etymology
Leziune entered Romanian in the 19th century as a learned borrowing from French lésion, part of a wave of French-derived vocabulary that modernized Romanian medical and legal language. French lésion in turn comes from Latin laesio, laesionem, a noun built on the verb laedere, meaning to hurt or damage. The Romanian ending was adapted to the native suffix pattern -iune, seen in many other French loans of this kind.
