Etymology
Romanian borrowed "public" from French and Latin during the nineteenth century, when the language deliberately absorbed Western vocabulary to replace or supplement older Slavic and Turkish terms. The Latin source, "publicus," meant "of the people, belonging to the state." Its own root traces back to "populus," meaning "people," though the deeper origin of "populus" itself is disputed among linguists.
