Etymology
Număr comes from the Latin numerus, meaning number or count. Latin numerus itself is often traced by etymologists to a root meaning to distribute or allot, the same idea behind the Greek word for law or custom. The word passed into Romanian through the ordinary spoken Latin of the region and kept its core meaning almost unchanged.
