Etymology
Romanian "car" descends from Latin "carrus", a two-wheeled wagon. Latin borrowed the word from Gaulish, a Celtic language, since the Romans credited the Celts with this design of cart. The word has stayed close to its Latin form through the history of Romanian, unlike many other Latin-derived words that changed more heavily.
