Romanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from French négresse.
Noun[edit]
negresă f (plural negrese, masculine equivalent negru)
Usage notes[edit]
The word, unlike the modern meaning of the French etymological source it was borrowed from in the 19th century, does not have a negative or racist connotation as a slur, and is considered a neutral term. In French, the word has since been replaced by the neutral term noire.
