Etymology
Romanian borrowed "romantic" from French "romantique" in the 19th century, with reinforcement from German "romantisch". Both trace back to French "roman" (novel, tale), which itself came from Old French "romanz", a term for vernacular storytelling as opposed to Latin. That word derives from Vulgar Latin "romanice", meaning "in the Roman vernacular manner", built on the name "Roma".
