femeie

Etymology
. The old sense of "family" in Romanian is now mostly lost, replaced by the neologism. Compare 🇨🇬, which retained the sense of "family". Despite the phonetic and semantic similarities, is unrelated to Latin, and it is improbable that this word influenced the development of the meaning in modern Romanian because the older forms of femeie did not have the sense of woman and the other Romanian/Eastern Romance languages don't have this sense either. It is also unrelated to Latin, which produced some apparent "cognates" in the Western Romance languages that only share superficial similarities. For a similar semantic development, see Albanian.
