The connection between "Roman"and"romantic"
I am sure that the word"romantic"comes from the word"Roman".
But the definition of "romantic" seems has nothing to do with "Roman".Since "romantic" is used to describe something that is loved,while"Roman" means a city.
Or could it be that they think something about Roman cause them a romantic feeling,then they created the word"romantic"?
Sorry for that this question might just have confused my teacher when I was trying to make it clear to her.

When used to relate to love, I'm not sue there is a direct connection. See here http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=romance
When referring to languages the connection is clear.

It's also interesting that "romance" also means "derived from the Romans", as in "a Romance language"
