Etymology
Bilet entered Romanian from French billet, a word that originally meant a short written note or document. French billet itself traces to Old French bullette or billette, a diminutive tied to Latin bulla, meaning seal or sealed document. Romanian kept both senses: a small paper slip that grants passage (a ticket) and a brief written message (a note).
