Etymology
Romanian borrowed "card" directly from English in the 20th century, alongside the spread of banking technology. English "card" itself traces back through Old French "carte" to Latin "charta", meaning a sheet of papyrus or paper. The word entered Romanian as a ready-made technical term rather than evolving through Latin the way most native Romanian vocabulary did.
