Etymology
Poezie entered Romanian from French poésie in the modern era, part of a wave of French borrowings that reshaped Romanian literary vocabulary in the 19th century. French poésie itself descends from Latin poesis, borrowed from Greek poiesis, meaning a making or a creation. The Greek noun comes from the verb poiein, to make or to create, so the word literally frames poetry as an act of making.
