Etymology
Romanian borrowed "contribui" from French "contribuer" during the nineteenth-century modernization of the language, reinforced by the parallel Latin form "contribuere". The Latin word splits into "con-" (together) and "tribuere" (to grant, to assign). The origin of "tribuere" itself, tied to Latin "tribus" (tribe), is debated among etymologists, so no single Proto-Indo-European root can be stated with confidence.
