Etymology
Romanian "lux" was borrowed in the 19th century from French "luxe", itself from Latin "luxus", meaning excess or extravagant living. The word entered Romanian as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the vocabulary during that period. It replaced or supplemented older, more native ways of describing wealth and excess.
