Etymology
Romanian "suprem" came in through French "suprême", which itself descends from Latin "supremus", the superlative of "superus" (situated above). The root goes back to Latin "super" (above, over). Romanian absorbed the word as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings during the 19th-century modernization of its vocabulary, so it sits alongside native inherited words rather than replacing one.
