plasticvivid, expressive (of style or language)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "plastic" from French "plastique", which traces back to Greek "plastikos", meaning fit for molding. That adjective comes from "plassein", to mold or shape. The word entered Romanian first as a technical and artistic term, and later took on its everyday sense of the synthetic material once that substance became common in the 20th century.
