Etymology
Pariu comes from French "pari", meaning bet or wager, itself from the verb "parier". Romanian adapted the French loanword by adding the final -u typical of neuter nouns borrowed from French, the same pattern seen in "birou" from "bureau". The related verb "a paria", to bet, entered Romanian the same way.
