Etymology

Universitate entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. It comes from Latin universitas, universitatis, meaning the whole or a corporate body, a word medieval scholars applied to a guild of teachers and students. Romanian took the word most directly through French université, spelling and meaning intact.
