Etymology

Tipic entered Romanian from French typique, which traces back to Latin typicus and ultimately to Greek typikos. The Greek root typos meant a mark or impression, from the verb typtein, to strike. Over time the word came to describe anything that fits the standard pattern or mold of its category.
