Etymology
Coridor entered Romanian in the 19th century, part of a wave of French and Italian loanwords that arrived alongside Western-style architecture and urban life. It traces to Italian corridoio and French corridor, both built on the Latin verb currere, meaning to run, since a corridor was literally a passage one runs or moves along. Romanian kept the word as a direct borrowing rather than reshaping it with native affixes.
