Etymology

Bluză entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as a direct borrowing from French blouse, part of a large wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian during its modernization. The origin of the French word itself is disputed, and etymologists have not settled on a definitive source. English blouse comes from the same French word, borrowed independently around the same period.
