Etymology
Religie entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that reshaped the modern vocabulary. It comes from Latin religio, religionem, most likely by way of French religion. The ultimate origin of the Latin word is disputed among scholars, so no single ancestral root is certain.
