Etymology
Romanian fabrică comes from Latin fabrica, meaning workshop or craft, itself built on faber, a craftsman or smith. The word likely entered Romanian through French fabrique or German Fabrik during the modernization of Romanian vocabulary in the 19th century. The form fabrica seen here is simply fabrică plus the enclitic definite article -a, so it means the factory.
