Etymology
Prințesă is built from prinț, meaning prince, plus the feminine suffix -esă, which marks a female title holder. Prinț itself entered Romanian from French prince, tracing back to Latin princeps, a word for the person who takes first rank. The suffix -esă appears in other Romanian title nouns for women, such as contesă (countess).
