Etymology
Echipă entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French borrowings that modernized the language. It comes from French équipe, which traces back to Old French esquiper, meaning to fit out or man a ship. The nautical sense of a crew working a vessel gradually broadened into the general idea of a group working toward a common goal.
