Etymology
Romanian borrowed "cuplu" from French "couple" in the modern period, as the language modernized its vocabulary in the 19th and 20th centuries. The French word traces to Latin "copula," meaning a bond or a tie. The Latin term combines the prefix "co-" (together) with a root meaning to fasten. Today the Romanian word mainly names two people joined as partners.
