Etymology

Sexual entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's scientific and abstract vocabulary. It traces to Latin sexualis, built on sexus, meaning sex or biological division. The deeper origin of sexus itself is not firmly settled among linguists, so no single root is claimed here.
