Etymology
Romanian borrowed "strict" from French "strict" and Latin "strictus" during the 19th-century push to re-Latinize the language. "Strictus" is the past participle of the Latin verb "stringere", meaning to draw tight or bind. The word entered as a learned term alongside older, inherited Romanian vocabulary from the same Latin root.
