Etymology
"Foto" is a clipped form of "fotografie", the Romanian word for photograph, itself borrowed from French "photographie". That word was built in the 19th century from Greek roots meaning light and writing. Romanian speakers shortened it in everyday speech, the way English speakers shortened "photograph" to "photo".
