Etymology
Limită entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as a learned borrowing from French limite, part of a wave of French and Latin vocabulary that modernized Romanian. The French word itself descends from Latin limitem, the accusative of limes, meaning a boundary path or frontier strip between fields. The word is not an inherited native Romanian term but a deliberate import used in formal, legal, and scientific registers.
