Etymology
Termina entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of the effort to modernize the language with French and Latin vocabulary. It comes from French terminer, which descends from Latin terminare, meaning to set a boundary or bring to an end. The Latin verb itself derives from terminus, a boundary marker or limit.
