Etymology
Firmă entered Romanian through French firme and German Firma, both going back to Italian firma, meaning signature. That Italian word comes from Latin firmare, to make firm or to confirm, itself from the adjective firmus, firm or steady. A word that once meant a signature came to mean the business standing behind that signature, and then the business itself.
