Etymology
Romanian "simbol" comes from French "symbole", which traces back to Latin "symbolum" and Greek "symbolon". The Greek word originally meant a token or a mark used to identify something, formed from "syn-" (together) and a root tied to "ballein" (to throw). Romanian absorbed the word during the nineteenth century as part of a broader wave of French-based vocabulary in science and culture.
