Etymology
Romanian borrowed "permanent" from French "permanent" in the 19th century, during the wave of French-based modernization of the Romanian lexicon. The French word itself descends from Latin "permanens, permanentis", the present participle of "permanere", meaning to stay or last throughout. The Latin verb is built from "per-" (through) and "manere" (to remain).
