Etymology
Opțiune entered Romanian from French option in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French borrowings that modernized Romanian's abstract vocabulary. French option in turn descends from Latin optio, optionis, meaning a choosing or a choice, itself built on the verb optare, to choose or wish for. The Romanian ending -iune is a regular adaptation of the Latin/French -ion(em) pattern, seen in many similar borrowings.
