Etymology
The word comes from the verb "a cumpăra," which traces back to Latin "comparare," meaning to procure or obtain, and later to compare. Romanian kept the older sense of acquiring something, while French kept the sense of comparing. "Cumpărat" is the past participle, used both to form compound past tenses and as an adjective meaning bought or purchased.
