splendidsplendidly, magnificently (same form as masculine adjective)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "splendid" from French "splendide", itself from Latin "splendidus", an adjective built on the verb "splendere", to shine. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a large wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the vocabulary. It sits alongside older, native Romanian words for beauty, adding a more formal or literary shade of meaning.
