Etymology

"Termin" is the first person singular present of the verb "a termina", meaning to finish or end. Romanian borrowed "a termina" from French "terminer" during the nineteenth century, when scholars reshaped Romanian vocabulary along Latin and French lines. Both trace back to Latin "terminare", built on "terminus", meaning boundary or end point.
