Etymology
Romanian borrowed "rock" directly from English in the mid-20th century, along with the music genre itself. The English word traces to the verb "to rock," meaning to sway back and forth, from Old English "roccian." Romanian kept the spelling and pronunciation almost unchanged, adding only native articles and endings when needed.
