Etymology
Bombă entered Romanian from French bombe, which came from Italian bomba. The Italian word traces to Latin bombus, a deep hollow sound, borrowed from Greek bombos, meaning a booming or buzzing noise. The word was originally about the sound an explosive device makes, and later came to name the device itself.
