Etymology
Romanian borrowed "brut" from French "brut", which meant raw, unrefined, or unworked. French took it from Latin "brutus", meaning heavy, dull, or irrational, the same root that gave English "brute" and "brutal". The economic sense, gross versus net, developed later as a figurative extension of unrefined or untreated.
