Etymology
Romanian borrowed "mostră" during the modernization of its commercial vocabulary in the 19th century, drawing on Italian "mostra" and German "Muster", both terms for a display piece or sample. Both of those in turn trace back to Latin "monstrare", meaning to show or point out. The word entered Romanian mainly through trade and craft contacts with Central Europe, where a small piece of goods was shown to represent the whole batch.
