Etymology
Punct comes from Latin punctum, the past participle of pungere, meaning to prick or pierce. A punctum was originally the mark left by a sharp point, and Romanian kept that sense almost unchanged. The word entered Romanian directly from Latin, alongside later French influence on related vocabulary like punctual and punctuație.
