Etymology
Relație comes from Latin relatio, relationem, itself built from the verb referre, to bring back or report. The Latin noun passed into Romanian through the standard Latin pattern -tio, -tionem becoming Romanian -ție, the same path that gave nație from natio. French relation likely reinforced the word's modern sense during the 19th century wave of French borrowings into Romanian.
