Etymology
Romanian borrowed carieră from French carrière in the 19th century, part of a wave of French loanwords that modernized Romanian vocabulary. French carrière came from Old Italian carriera, meaning a racetrack or road for carts, built on Vulgar Latin via carraria, a cart road. That phrase traces to Latin carrus, a wagon, which Latin itself borrowed from Gaulish. The underlying sense of a track one travels along later shifted to mean a course of professional life.
