Etymology
Romanian borrowed "a izola" from French "isoler" during the nineteenth-century wave of French and Italian loanwords that modernized the language. French "isoler" itself comes from Italian "isolare", built on "isola" (island), which traces back to Latin "insula". The core sense has stayed consistent across all these languages: to set something apart, as if surrounding it with water.
