marinmarine, naval, of the seamareseaEtymology
Submarin entered Romanian from French sous-marin, a compound built from sous (under) and marin (of the sea). The French adjective marin itself comes from Latin marinus, from mare, sea. Romanian adopted the word in the late 19th or early 20th century as naval technology made the vehicle a real object rather than a fictional one.
