Etymology
Barman entered Romanian in the twentieth century as a direct borrowing, most likely via French, from English. In English it is a compound of bar, the counter where drinks are served, and man, a person. Romanian kept the spelling and pronunciation close to the source and simply adapted the word to its own noun endings for plural and case forms.
