Fittingly, the term romance originally meant “to derive from a romantic language”, meaning mostly Latin which was spoken in the Roman Empire.

The texts in reference were largely about chivalry and such. Hence the modern connotations.

So like, romance refers to a time before the world was fully known. :)
