Etymology
Temă entered Romanian from French thème, which came from Latin thema, itself borrowed from Greek thema, meaning something laid down or proposed. The Greek word derives from the verb tithenai, to put or to place. The core sense, a thing set down as a basis for discussion, survives directly in the modern Romanian word.
