Etymology
Romanian borrowed "hartă" in the modern era from Modern Greek χάρτα (kharta) and Ottoman Turkish harita, both meaning map. Those words trace back to Greek khartēs, which originally meant a sheet of papyrus or paper rather than a geographic drawing. Over time the sense narrowed in Romanian to the specific meaning of a map. Because this word entered through a Greek-Turkish borrowing chain rather than through inherited Latin or Indo-European vocabulary, no reconstructed root applies.
