Etymology
Romanian borrowed "autobuz" from French "autobus" in the early twentieth century, when motorized public transport began replacing horse-drawn omnibuses. "Autobus" itself is a blend of "auto(mobile)" and "(omni)bus". The word entered Romanian alongside other French-derived vocabulary for modern transport, such as "automobil".
