Etymology
Romanian "ser" comes from French "sérum", which was taken directly from Latin "serum", meaning whey or watery liquid. The word entered Romanian in the modern era through medical and scientific French, alongside many other 19th-century borrowings. Its original Latin sense, the watery part left after milk curdles, later narrowed in medicine to mean blood serum.
