platformăplatformEtymology
Romanian borrowed "plat" from French "plat" (flat), part of the wave of French vocabulary that entered Romanian in the 19th century. French "plat" traces back through Vulgar Latin to Ancient Greek "platýs," meaning broad or flat. The same Greek root gave French and Italian words for dishes and open squares, since a flat surface is also a good place to set food or gather people.
