Etymology
Romanian borrowed "teoretic" from French "théorique", itself from Late Latin "theoreticus" and ultimately Greek "theōrētikos". The Greek word derives from "theōrein", to look at or contemplate, tied to the noun "theōria", a viewing or contemplation. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century alongside a wave of French and Latin scholarly vocabulary.
