Etymology
Premiu comes from Latin praemium, meaning a reward or gain taken in advance. The word entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of learned borrowings that replaced or supplemented older Slavic-derived vocabulary. It shares its Latin source with similar words in French, Italian, and English.
