International (Greco-)Latin neologisms in medias res, urbi et orbi. A case study: Etymological doublets

Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to highlight, on the one hand, the importance of Latin cultural vocabulary in the formation and development of modern Romanian, and, on the other hand, its renewed relevance in contemporary society as a model of tradition (stability and trust) and, equally, of innovation. The selected corpus includes both learned Latin borrowings in Romanian — by definition neological — and internationally circulating loanwords, either taken directly from Latin or created from Latin roots, collocations, or phraseological units, with particular emphasis on those that exhibit etymological doublets. The general conclusion is that Latin continues to hold a distinctive interest beyond the boundaries of European culture, owing to the ongoing valorization of its resources in today’s global society.
