Etymology
Masculin entered Romanian in the nineteenth century from French masculin, part of a broader wave of French-based vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. French masculin traces to Latin masculinus, an adjective built on masculus, meaning male, which was itself formed from mas, male or man, with a diminutive suffix. The word therefore shares its root directly with English masculine.
