Regulă entered Romanian from Latin regula, meaning a straight stick or a standard to measure and guide by. The word was reinforced in the modern era through French règle, as Romanian scholars rebuilt much of the language's vocabulary on Latin and French models in the 19th century. The core sense, a straight standard that guides conduct or measurement, has stayed intact since antiquity.
