peisajlandscape (base form)Etymology
Peisaj entered Romanian in the 19th century as a direct borrowing from French paysage, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian's cultural and artistic vocabulary. French paysage itself comes from pays, meaning country or land, plus the suffix -age, which marks a state or expanse. Romanian adapted the French spelling to peisaj and assigned it neuter gender, the default for such loanwords.
