Etymology
Bucătărie is built from bucătar, the Romanian word for cook, plus the suffix -ie, which forms nouns naming a place or activity. Bucătar itself comes from bucată, meaning piece or portion, combined with the agent suffix -ar, so a bucătar was originally someone who worked with pieces or portions of food. Bucată traces back to Latin bucca, meaning cheek or mouth, the same root that gave Italian boccone and French bouchée, both meaning mouthful.
