Etymology

Opinie came into Romanian from French opinion, itself from Latin opinio, opinionis, a noun built on the verb opinari, to think or suppose. Romanian adapted the French ending to the native abstract-noun suffix -ie, the same pattern seen in religie from religion. The word entered Romanian during the 19th-century wave of French borrowings that reshaped the modern vocabulary.
