Etymology
Doză entered Romanian from French dose in the 19th century, part of a wave of Western European vocabulary that reshaped Romanian after 1800. French dose itself descends from Greek dosis, meaning a giving or a portion given, from the verb didonai, to give. The everyday sense of a can of a drink is a later, informal extension inside Romanian, from the idea of a single measured portion.
