Etymology

Statuie entered Romanian from French statue, itself from Latin statua, a noun built on stare, to stand. The Romanian form adds the native noun suffix -ie to the borrowed stem. This layered path, Latin through French into Romanian, is typical of Romanian's modern vocabulary for art and public life.
