Etymology
Măr comes from Latin malus, the word for the apple tree, which merged in spoken Latin with malum, the word for the fruit itself. Romanian kept a single form for both senses, unlike some other Romance languages. The deeper origin of the Latin word is uncertain, so no further root can be given with confidence.
