Etymology
Cadru entered Romanian from French cadre in the 19th century, part of a wave of French borrowings during Romania's modernization. French cadre traces to Italian quadro, meaning square or picture, which comes from Latin quadrum, a square, built on quattuor, four. The word widened from a literal frame to abstract senses like framework, and to personnel or staff, a sense reinforced later by Soviet-era use of the Russian word kadry.
