romanz

Old French

Alternative forms

romans, romant, romauns, roumans, roumant, rommans, rommant, ronmanz

Etymology

From Vulgar Latin rōmānicē (“in a Roman manner”), from Latin rōmānicus < rōmānus. Forms ending in -t are due to the fact -z often replaces -ts at end of a nominative singular form. In this instance, the -z or -s ending is from the -icē ending of rōmānicē, not the addition of an -s to a word ending in -t.[1] Compare Old Occitan romans, cf. also Romansch rumantsch.
