Etymology
Romanian borrowed "pacific" from French "pacifique", itself from Latin "pacificus". The Latin word joins "pax, pacis" (peace) with the verb "facere" (to make), so it literally means "peace-making". It entered Romanian in the 19th century, part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language.
