Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ecran" from French "écran" in the 19th and 20th centuries, as cinema and later television and computing spread into the country. French "écran" itself traces back to Old French "escran", a word of Germanic (Frankish) origin. The Romanian form kept the French meaning almost unchanged: a flat surface on which an image is projected or displayed.
