recentrecentlyEtymology
Romanian borrowed "recent" from French "récent" during the 19th-century push to re-Latinize the language's vocabulary. The French word itself comes from Latin "recens, recentis," meaning fresh or newly done. The same Latin root gave English "recent" and similar words across the Romance languages.
