Etymology
Romanian borrowed "miză" from French "mise", the noun form of "mettre" (to put), used in gambling for the sum a player puts on the table before play. The word entered Romanian in the 19th or early 20th century as part of a broad wave of French borrowings that reshaped modern Romanian vocabulary. Over time its sense widened from a literal betting stake to whatever is at risk or to gain in any contest, negotiation, or decision.
