Etymology
Romanian took "ritual" from French "rituel", reinforced by the Latin adjective "ritualis". That adjective comes from "ritus", meaning an established religious custom or rite. Some etymologists trace "ritus" to an old Indo-European root tied to counting or setting things in correct order, the same idea behind the Sanskrit word for cosmic order.
