Etymology
Spermă entered Romanian through French sperme, itself from Latin sperma, borrowed from Greek σπέρμα (sperma), meaning seed. The Greek noun comes from the verb σπείρειν (speirein), to sow or scatter. The word arrived in Romanian as part of the modern scientific and medical vocabulary, alongside many other French-mediated Latinate and Greek terms.
