Jachetă entered Romanian from French jaquette during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, part of a large wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary during that period. French jaquette is a diminutive of jaque, a short tunic once linked to the common given name Jacques, much as English jack names a common man. No Indo-European root applies here, since the word is a borrowing tied to a personal name rather than an inherited root.
