Etymology
Romanian borrowed "pilot" from French "pilote" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French loanwords tied to technical and maritime fields. French in turn took it from Italian "pilota", whose own origin is debated among etymologists. No secure Indo-European root has been established for the word, so none is given here.
