Etymology
Teatru entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary for culture and science. It traces back to Latin theatrum, itself taken from Greek theatron, a place for viewing, built on the verb theasthai, to behold. The word did not survive in Romanian by direct inheritance from spoken Latin; it was reintroduced later through French théâtre.
