Etymology
Cabină entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French borrowings that modernized Romanian vocabulary. It comes from French cabine, which itself traces back to Old French cabane, meaning a small hut or shelter. The word ultimately points to Late Latin capanna, a term for a simple hut, though its deeper roots before Latin are not firmly established.
