Etymology

Romanian borrowed "listă" from French "liste", itself from Old Italian "lista", meaning a strip or border. That word traces back to a Germanic source, likely Frankish, related to the idea of a strip of paper or cloth on which names were written. The sense narrowed over time from "strip" to "a written series of items".
