Etymology

Romanian borrowed "boom" directly from English in the twentieth century, along with the economic sense it carries in English. The English word originally described a loud, hollow sound, such as a cannon blast, and was later applied to sudden business growth in nineteenth-century American usage. Romanian kept the spelling and the economic meaning largely intact, adapting only the grammar around it.
