Etymology
Tumoare came into Romanian from French tumeur, following a common pattern where French nouns ending in -eur were adapted with the Romanian ending -oare. The French word itself descends from Latin tumor, tumoris, meaning a swelling, built on the verb tumere, to swell. The same Latin root gave English its own borrowed word tumor.
