Etymology
Romanian borrowed "bord" from French "bord", which originally meant the side or edge of a ship. The word traces back through Germanic languages, where it referred to a plank or board, the kind used to build a ship's hull. Over time the Romanian sense narrowed toward two everyday uses: the panel of instruments in a vehicle, and the fixed phrase "la bord" for being aboard a ship, plane, or car.
