bicicletăbicycleEtymology
Romanian borrowed "motocicletă" from French "motocyclette" in the early twentieth century, as motor vehicles spread across Europe. The French word itself joined "moto-" (from "motocycle", built on Latin "motor", mover) with "cyclette", a diminutive of "cycle". The result described a small motor-driven cycle, distinct from the pedal-powered "bicyclette".
