Etymology
Prânz descends from Latin prandium, a word for the midday meal. It passed into Romanian through everyday spoken Latin in the region and kept its core meaning for two thousand years. Romanian shows this kind of direct Latin inheritance in much of its basic vocabulary, unlike the layers of French and Slavic borrowing found elsewhere in its lexicon.
