Etymology
Litru is a modern borrowing from French litre, which entered French from the post-classical Greek litra, a unit of weight. The word spread across Europe with the metric system in the 19th century. Romanian took it directly from French, as it did with many technical and scientific terms during its period of linguistic modernization.
