Etymology
"Pină" is a technical term from Romanian carpentry and mechanical engineering for a small wedge or pin that locks two parts together. Its exact origin is not settled in the sources available here, so no specific root is claimed. It sits alongside the more common "pană," which covers similar wedge and key meanings in everyday speech.
