Etymology

Comandă entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as a borrowing from French commande and Italian comanda, part of the wave of Western Romance vocabulary that modernized Romanian after centuries of Slavic and Greek influence. Both source words trace to Latin commendare, built from com- and mandare, meaning to entrust something to someone's care. The form comanda given here is simply comandă with the definite article -a attached, so it reads as the order rather than an order.
