Etymology
Perioadă entered Romanian from French période, which goes back to Latin periodus and ultimately Greek períodos, literally a going around. That Greek word joins peri (around) with hodós (way, road), so the original sense was a circuit or recurring cycle before it narrowed to mean a stretch of time. Romanian took the word ready-made rather than building it from native pieces.
