Etymology
Romanian borrowed "copie" from French "copie" in the 19th century, during the wave of French-influenced modernization of Romanian vocabulary. French "copie" descends from Latin "copia", meaning abundance or plenty. The sense shifted from general abundance to the specific idea of a reproduction, likely through the notion of producing plentiful transcripts of a text.
