Etymology
Romanian borrowed "fabrică" from French "fabrique" and German "Fabrik" in the modern period, as the country industrialized in the 19th century. Both ultimately trace to Latin "fabrica", meaning a workshop or the trade of a craftsman. That Latin noun comes from "faber", meaning smith or craftsman.
