Etymology

Romanian borrowed "fraudă" from French "fraude" in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian actively absorbed French vocabulary for modern legal and administrative concepts. French "fraude" descends from Latin "fraus, fraudis", meaning deceit or harm. The further origin of the Latin word is not firmly established, so no confirmed deeper root exists.
