Etymology
Romanian borrowed "rezervor" from French "réservoir" in the 19th century, during a period when Romanian absorbed large numbers of French words for modern technical life. The French word comes from "réserver" (to reserve), which traces to Latin "reservare," built from "re-" (back) and "servare" (to keep, watch over). The base sense is a place that keeps something in reserve.
