Etymology
"Buc" is a clipped, written abbreviation of "bucată," the Romanian word for "piece." It shows up on price tags, invoices, and inventory lists as a compact unit symbol, much like "pcs" in English. "Bucată" itself traces back to Latin "bucceata" (a mouthful), from "bucca" (cheek, mouth), which shifted in meaning to "piece" or "chunk" over time.
