Etymology

1. Inherited from Old French romanz (“common language (as opposed to Latin)”), from Vulgar Latin romanicē (“in the way of the Romans (as opposed to the Franks)”), from Latin rōmānicus, from Latin rōmānus.
2. The meaning “common language” changed into “book in common language” and then into “adventure novel”. See also romance, of the same ultimate origin but borrowed through Spanish. See: Latin Nouns 'rōmānicus', Latin Nouns 'rōmānus'.
