Etymology
Romanian borrowed "miracol" from French "miracle" in the nineteenth century, as part of a wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. The French word descends from Latin "miraculum", meaning an object of wonder, built on the verb "mirari", to wonder or be astonished. That verb traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to smile.
