Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ocean" from French "océan", which traces back to Latin "oceanus" and Greek "Ōkeanos". In Greek myth, Okeanos was the great river thought to encircle the entire world. The word entered Romanian during the nineteenth century as part of a broader wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary.
