Etymology
Romanian borrowed "regal" from French "royal"/"régal" and Latin "regalis" during the nineteenth-century push to re-Latinize the language. The Latin root is "rex, regis" (king), the same source behind English "regal" and "royal". The looser noun sense, meaning a spectacular treat or feast, mirrors the French noun "régal", which means a delight or a treat.
