Etymology
Stil entered Romanian in the 19th century as a borrowing from French style, part of the wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian during its modernization. French style itself descends from Latin stilus, the pointed writing implement used on wax tablets, whose spelling was later reshaped under the influence of Greek stylos (pillar), though the two words are historically unrelated. The meaning shifted from the physical tool to the manner of writing it produced, then broadened to any distinctive manner of expression.
