Etymology
Rând entered Romanian from a Slavic source, related to Old Church Slavonic redŭ, meaning row or order. Romanian absorbed many such terms during centuries of contact with Slavic-speaking neighbors, especially in administrative and everyday vocabulary. The word kept its core sense of a line or sequence, and later grew the extra sense of a person's turn.
