romanço

From Old Galician-Portuguese romanço, from Latin rōmānice (Roman, adverb), via Old Occitan romans.

O termo romance foi atribuído a esse gênero por se tratar de narrativas escritas em língua vulgar, o romanço, e não no latim tradicional. A palavra romance significa "como os romanos, à modo dos romanos". Diferentemente da canção de gesta, o romance medieval é destinado à recitação. [D]os tipos se sobressaem: [o] primeiro deles reproduz uma cosmovisão galante e cortês, mas também com comportamentos e ações guerreiras, apoiados substancialmente em dois temas: o amor e a aventura, com final feliz para os amores narrados.

2008, Marta Morais da Costa, Silvana Oliveira., Concepções, Estruturas E Fundamentos Do Texto Literário, Inteligência Educacional e Sistemas de Ensino S.A., →ISBN, page 79:

The term romance was assigned to this genre because they are stories written in the common language, known as romanço, not in traditional Latin. The word romance means "in the manner of the Romans". Unlike chansons de geste, romanços are intended to be read aloud. Two types stand out: [the] first of them propagates a gallant and chivalrous worldview, but not one without strife. The stories substantially consist of two themes: love and adventure, with a happy ending for the narrator, who finds love.
