| Comment on word form | Words for which a Latin etymon is given may have been borrowed into Latin at an earlier stage. For the purpose of this vocabulary, Latin words that were in use before Roman conquest and colonization of the area in which Romanian is spoken today are considered to have been inherited from Latin. Some of these words may be loanwords in Latin, but they will not be considered loanwords in Romanian, as they were not borrowed into Romanian as such. |
