Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ramă" from French "rame" and German "Rahmen," both of which trace to a Frankish word for a prop or support structure. The French sense used here is the older technical one, tied to stretching frames in textile work, not the more common modern French "rame" (oar, ream, train). Romanian narrowed the meaning to the frame that borders and holds an object such as a painting, a window, or a lens.
