Etymology
Cablu entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of technical vocabulary borrowed from French. It comes from French câble, which descends from Old French chable, itself from Medieval Latin capulum, meaning a rope or halter. That Latin noun is tied to the verb capere, to seize or hold.
