Etymology
Televizor entered Romanian in the 20th century as the device for receiving television broadcasts became common. It was formed on the same international pattern as French téléviseur and Italian televisore, combining the Greek prefix tele- (far) with a root tied to Latin videre (to see) and an agent-noun suffix. Romanian likely borrowed the word directly from French or Italian rather than coining it independently.
