Etymology

Cameră is a learned borrowing from French chambre or Italian camera, both going back to Latin camera, meaning a vaulted room. Latin took the word from Greek kamára, a vault or arched roof. Romanian adopted it in the modern era as an educated import, alongside the older native term odaie, which came from Turkish.
