Etymology
Placă entered Romanian through French plaque, which meant a flat rigid piece of metal or other material. The French word traces back to a Germanic source, a Middle Dutch term for a flat patch or disc. Romanian kept the core sense of a rigid flat object and later extended it to records, plaques, and computer boards.
