Etymology
Sânge comes from Latin sanguis (accusative sanguinem), the ordinary Latin word for blood. Romanian kept the word almost unchanged in meaning across two thousand years, unlike some Romance languages where a different root took over in casual speech. The further origin of Latin sanguis before Latin itself is disputed among scholars, so no PIE root is given here.
