Etymology
Pasă entered Romanian from French passe, the noun tied to the verb passer, "to pass." Passer traces to Vulgar Latin passare, built on Latin passus, "a step" or "pace," the past participle of pandere, "to spread out." The word arrived in Romanian alongside modern sports vocabulary in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when French supplied much of the terminology for games like football.
