Etymology
Romanian borrowed "salon" from French "salon" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian's upper-class and urban speech. French "salon" came from Italian "salone", an augmentative of "sala" meaning a large room or hall. That Italian word traces back to a Germanic term for a single-room dwelling or hall, brought into Romance languages by Germanic settlers.
