Etymology
Romanian borrowed "organism" from French "organisme" during the nineteenth-century push to modernize the language with Latinate and French vocabulary. The French word rests on Latin "organum" (instrument, tool), itself taken from Greek "organon" (tool, sense organ), a noun tied to the verb root behind "ergon" (work). The chain ends at a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to work."
