Etymology

Membru entered Romanian through French membre and learned Latin membrum, part of the wave of Western Romance vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. In Latin, membrum first meant a bodily limb or part, and only later extended to a person belonging to a group or body. Romanian kept both senses: membru still names an arm or leg in anatomical writing, but the dominant everyday sense is organizational membership.
