Etymology
Romanian borrowed "hectar" from French "hectare" in the 19th century, when the metric system spread across Europe. The French word itself was coined from Greek "hekaton" (hundred) and "are", a unit of area of 100 square meters that France adopted during its own metric reform of the 1790s. So a hectare is literally one hundred ares, or 10,000 square meters.
