Etymology
The origin of gașcă is not firmly settled. Romanian dictionaries treat it as a fairly late borrowing, likely from a Slavic source, that entered urban colloquial speech in the 19th or early 20th century to describe an informal circle of friends. Because it looks like a recent slang import rather than an inherited word, it cannot be traced back to a secure ancient root.
