Etymology
Romanian borrowed "pulover" from French "pull-over", which itself came from the English phrase "pull over", describing a garment you pull over your head. The word entered Romanian in the twentieth century along with other Western clothing terms. Its spelling was adapted to Romanian phonetics.
