The word comes from French "différence", which traces back to Latin "differentia", a noun built from the verb "differre", meaning to carry apart or to set apart. Romanian absorbed it as part of the wave of French-influenced vocabulary that reshaped the modern literary language in the 19th century. The Latin root itself splits into the prefix "dis-" (apart) and "ferre" (to carry).
