Etymology
Romanian borrowed "nord" from French "nord" in the modern era, part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 18th and 19th centuries. French in turn took it from a Germanic word for north, the same one that gave English "north". Romanian once used native terms for this direction, but the French loan displaced them in everyday and technical use.
