Etymology
Romanian borrowed "plus" directly from French and Latin during the nineteenth-century modernization of its vocabulary. The Latin source, also "plus," meant "more" and served as the comparative of "multus" (much). It traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root tied to the idea of fullness and abundance.
