Etymology
Gard entered Romanian from a Slavic source related to Old Church Slavonic gradъ, meaning a fenced or fortified enclosure. That Slavic word itself descends from a very old root for enclosing or fencing land. The same root produced words for both simple fences and walled towns across Slavic languages, since a fortified settlement was, at base, just a large fenced-in space.
