Etymology
Romanian borrowed "sexy" directly from English, unchanged in spelling and largely in pronunciation. English formed it in the early twentieth century from the noun "sex" plus the adjective-forming suffix "-y". "Sex" itself comes from Latin "sexus", traditionally traced to a root meaning "to cut" or "divide", reflecting the division into male and female. The word entered Romanian in the twentieth century through French and English media and stayed as an invariable adjective, like other recent loanwords such as "cool" or "trendy".
