#French loanword
- Amour — A neologic term borrowed directly from French, used sporadically in modern Romanian literature, essays, or gallant style to designate a romantic adventure, a passionate romance, or the deep feeling of love. It retains a connotation of cultural refinement, often used in modernist poetry to evoke the atmosphere of Parisian salons.
- Angel — A term borrowed from the French language ('ange') used extremely rarely in old Romanian salon literature or cosmopolitan slang to denote an angel, a person with an extremely gentle, innocent character, or a woman of ideal beauty. In certain expressive literary contexts, it can function as an affectionate exclamation or a poetic term of endearment addressed to a loved one.
- Anglais — A term borrowed directly from the French language meaning English, the English language, or specific to English culture, sometimes used as a stylistic neologism or descriptor in fashion, gastronomy, or international expressions assimilated into Romanian texts. As a well-defined niche lexical structural element, it serves to denote certain stitching techniques (broderie anglais), clothing styles, or traditional culinary dishes from the Anglo-Saxon space.
- Anglaise — The feminine form of the term 'anglais', borrowed from the French language to denote a woman of English nationality or a feminine/neuter element with English characteristics. In a cultural and structural context, the word appears well-defined in artistic, musical terminologies (the dance called anglaise), or in gastronomy (crème anglaise), being used as a stylistic marker of origin or refinement in Romanian texts.
- Animalier — Representing or having animals as its main subject; a painter, sculptor, or visual artist specializing in the faithful, expressive, and detailed depiction of fauna in their works. The term also applies to the artistic genre dedicated to animals, a movement that flourished greatly in 19th-century sculpture and painting, emphasizing anatomy and realism.
- To persist fiercely — A rare, literary term, directly borrowed from French ('s'acharner'), occasionally used in old unadapted translations to describe the act of becoming stubborn, fierce, or pursuing an objective, opponent, or activity with implacable and violent persistence.
- Swaying — A literary technical term or very rare neologism, borrowed from French, used to denote the swinging motion, regular oscillation, swaying, or pendulum movement of a body or physical system; in mechanics or architecture, it can describe the symmetrical distribution or dynamic balancing of weights within a structure. It is found primarily in old specialized texts or literary translations influenced by the Gallic vocabulary.
