Etymology
Romanian borrowed "lot" from French "lot", which itself traces back to a Frankish word meaning a share or portion assigned by chance. The French sense of a grouped batch or allotment carried over directly into Romanian commercial and administrative language. From there Romanian extended the word to cover sports squads and parcels of land, uses that match the source French word closely.
