venetic

Romanian

Etymology

Borrowed from Byzantine Greek or Greek βενετικός (venetikós, “Venetian”). Compare also Aromanian venetic, Turkish venedik, Albanian venetik, Slavic venedikŭ. In Romanian, the word can occasionally carry the connotation of being foreign in a religious sense. The meaning may go back ultimately to Crusader times when the Venetians established several domains in Greece/the Byzantine Empire (see Frankokratia), and the religious differences between the Catholic western "Latins" or "Franks" and the Orthodox Byzantines and Balkanites.
