Etymology
Romanian borrowed "risc" from French "risque" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French loanwords that entered Romanian during the 19th century. French in turn took the word from Italian "rischio" or "risco", a term rooted in maritime and commercial trade. The word's deeper origin before Italian is disputed among etymologists, so no single source is certain.
