Etymology
Opt comes from Latin octo, meaning eight. Latin octo goes back to Proto-Italic and ultimately to a Proto-Indo-European root for the number eight. Romanian kept the word closer to its Latin shape than several other numerals did, only shifting the consonant cluster ct to pt, a regular sound change also seen in lapte from lactem.
