Etymology
Săpun descends from Latin sapo, saponem, the same source as French savon, Italian sapone, and Spanish jabón. Latin itself had borrowed the word from a Germanic language, where it named a reddish dye or hair pomade before it came to mean cleaning soap. Romanian kept the word through the ordinary line of inherited Latin vocabulary, alongside words like apă and casă.
