Etymology
Bancă entered Romanian from French banque and Italian banca, both going back to a Germanic word for a bench or table, the kind moneylenders once sat behind to do business. That same root gave English both bank and bench. Romanian kept both senses: a bancă can be a financial bank or a plain bench or school desk.
