Etymology
Romanian took "chitară" from Italian "chitarra" or French "guitare" during the modernization of Romanian vocabulary in the 18th and 19th centuries. Those Western European words trace back to Greek "kithara", the name of an ancient stringed instrument. The Greek term itself is likely a loan from an older Near Eastern language, not a native Greek or Indo-European coinage.
