Etymology
Poză came into Romanian from French pose, meaning a stance or posture struck for a portrait. The sense shifted from the act of posing to the resulting image, so the word now means simply a photograph in everyday speech. The figurative use, putting on a pose or an act, survives in the idiom a-și da poze, to show off.
