Etymology
Romanian borrowed "real" from French "réel", itself from Late Latin "realis", built on Latin "res" meaning thing or matter. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's abstract vocabulary. It kept a form close to the source, unlike many older, more phonetically worn-down native Romanian words.
