Etymology
Spectacol entered Romanian from French spectacle, which comes from Latin spectaculum, meaning a show or a sight worth seeing. Spectaculum derives from spectare, to watch, itself a frequentative form of specere, to look. The word kept its core sense across centuries: something set up to be watched by an audience.
