Etymology
Piață comes from Latin platea, meaning a broad street or open courtyard. Latin platea itself was borrowed from Greek plateia (hodos), "broad way," from platys, "flat, broad." The same Latin source gave Italian piazza, French place, and Spanish plaza, all of which spread the word into English as place and plaza.
