Etymology
Romanian "senator" comes from Latin "senator, senatoris", a member of the senate. The Latin word itself derives from "senex", meaning old man, through "senatus", the council of elders. Romanian took the term during its 19th-century modernization, when many political and administrative words were reintroduced from Latin and French to build a modern civic vocabulary.
