Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ordin" from French "ordre", reinforced by the learned Latin form "ordo, ordinis". Both trace to the same Latin root that gives English "order" through Old French. The word entered Romanian in the modern era, alongside many administrative and military terms taken from French.
