blocapartment building, block of flatsEtymology
Romanian borrowed "apartament" from French "appartement" in the 19th century, during a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. French took the word from Italian "appartamento", built on the verb "appartare", meaning to set apart or separate. That verb goes back to Latin "ad-" (toward) plus "pars, partem" (part, portion), so the word originally meant a portion of a building set apart for one household.
