Etymology 1

In the 19th century, borrowed from Latin romanus.^[1] or from the French noun below ^[2], originally from Old French romanz (“common language”).

Etymology 2

From Old French romanz (“common language (as opposed to Latin)”), from Medieval Latin rōmānicē, Vulgar Latin *romanicē (“in the way of the Romans (as opposed to the Franks)”), from Latin rōmānicus < rōmānus.^[3]. The meaning “common language” changed into “book in common language” and then into “adventure novel”.^[1] See also romance, of the same ultimate origin but borrowed through Spanish.
