Etymology
Romanian borrowed "marijuană" directly from English "marijuana", adding the typical feminine noun ending -ă. English took the word from Mexican Spanish "marihuana". The ultimate source of the Spanish word is disputed: some trace it to Nahuatl, others to a folk story linking the names Maria and Juana, but no theory is firmly established.
