Etymology
Romanian borrowed "standard" from French, which took it from English. The English word goes back to Old French "estandart", a term for a rallying flag or banner around which troops gathered. Its ultimate origin is disputed among etymologists, so no single root form is certain. The sense shifted over centuries from a physical banner marking a fixed point to an abstract fixed measure or norm.
