Etymology
Preț comes from Latin pretium, meaning price or value. The Latin word is widely believed to trace back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to sell or trade. Romanian kept the word in daily use for commerce, unlike many other Latin-derived vocabulary items that got replaced by Slavic or other borrowings.
