Etymology
Câștig is a noun built directly from the verb a câștiga, meaning to win or to earn. Unlike most core Romanian vocabulary, this verb is not inherited from Latin. Romanian etymological dictionaries generally trace it to Cuman, a Turkic language once spoken by nomadic groups in medieval Romania, which would make it an outlier among the language's basic words.
