Etymology
Onora entered Romanian from French honorer, itself from Latin honorare, a verb built on honor ("honor, esteem"). The Latin noun honor has no securely established deeper root, so its origin before Latin stays uncertain. Romanian absorbed the word as part of a wave of French-derived vocabulary during the 19th-century modernization of the language.
