Etymology
Proprietar entered Romanian from French propriétaire in the 19th century, during the modernization of Romanian vocabulary along Romance lines. Propriétaire itself descends from Late Latin proprietarius, an adjective built on proprietas, meaning ownership or a defining quality. Proprietas in turn comes from proprius, meaning one's own or particular to someone.
