Etymology
Romanian borrowed "bursă" from French "bourse", which traces back to Medieval Latin "bursa", meaning purse or bag. That Latin word came from Greek "byrsa", hide or skin, since old purses were made of leather. The sense shifted over centuries from a physical purse to a sum of money set aside, then to the two modern meanings: a student grant and a marketplace for trading securities.
