Etymology
Romanian borrowed "album" in the 19th century from French "album", which took it directly from Latin "album", a neuter noun meaning a white tablet or blank list. The Latin word comes from "albus", meaning white, since such tablets were coated in white for writing public notices. The sense shifted over time from a blank register to a bound book of blank pages, and later to a collection of photographs or music.
