woman

family
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Latin familia (“family”). Compare Aromanian fumealji (“family; children”), Albanian fëmijë (“child”). The old sense of "family" in Romanian is now lost, replaced by the neologism familie. Despite the phonetic and semantic similarities, is unrelated to Latin femella, and it is improbable that this word influenced the development of the meaning in modern Romanian because the older forms of femeie did not have the sense of woman and the other Romanian/Eastern Romance languages don't have this sense either. It is also unrelated to Latin femina, which produced some apparent "cognates" in the Western Romance languages that only share superficial similarities.
