The word 'romance' originated from the Old French 'romanz', which referred to a story written in the vernacular of the day rather than Latin. Over time, it evolved to represent tales of adventure and love, particularly popular during the Middle Ages. The concept of romance as an emotional attachment emerged in the 17th century, and the genre of romance literature became prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries.
