Etymology
Romanian borrowed "garaj" from French "garage" in the early twentieth century, alongside the spread of the automobile. French "garage" comes from the verb "garer", meaning to shelter or dock a vehicle, which traces to a Frankish root meaning to watch over or protect. The word entered Romanian ready-made, with only the spelling adjusted to fit Romanian orthography.
