Etymology
Nod comes from Latin nodus, meaning knot. Latin nodus itself traces to the Proto-Indo-European root meaning to bind or tie together. The word kept its core sense across centuries: a place where strands cross and hold. Romanian later extended it, like many languages, to abstract junctions and connecting points.
