Etymology
Romanian borrowed "atelier" directly from French in the nineteenth century, during a period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language's vocabulary along French lines. The French word itself descends from Old French "astelier," a carpenter's workshop, rooted in "astelle," a wood chip or splinter. That noun traces back to Late Latin "astula" (also "assula"), a diminutive of "assis," meaning board or plank. So the word's deep sense is a place where wood is worked and shaved into pieces.
