Etymology
Romanian vin descends from Latin vinum, meaning wine. Latin vinum itself traces to an old Indo-European word for wine whose deepest origin is debated, since some linguists think it was borrowed from a non-Indo-European Mediterranean language rather than inherited outright. The Romanian form kept the Latin word almost unchanged through two thousand years, unlike many other Latin-derived Romanian words that picked up Slavic influence.
