Etymology

Romanian borrowed "stres" in the 20th century from French "stress" and English "stress", both of which trace back to Old French "destresse" and Latin "distringere", meaning to stretch apart or constrain. The word entered Romanian ready-made, with no internal derivation, and kept its single-syllable form and neuter gender, typical of modern technical loanwords.
