Etymology
Patrulă entered Romanian from French patrouille, meaning a group that goes around an area to watch over it. The French word's own origin is disputed, and older dictionaries link it to a verb meaning to paddle or trudge through mud, from patte, foot or paw. Because that root is unclear rather than a traceable Indo-European base, no PIE root is given here.
