Etymology
Romanian borrowed "calcul" from French "calcul" during the nineteenth-century modernization of its vocabulary, when many scientific and administrative terms entered the language through French. French "calcul" in turn comes from Latin "calculus," a small stone used for counting on an abacus. That Latin word is a diminutive of "calx," meaning stone or limestone. The same root gives English "calculate" and "calculus."
