Etymology
Schimb is a back-formation from the verb a schimba, meaning to change or exchange. That verb descends from Latin excambiare, a combination of the prefix ex- with cambiare, itself a Latin borrowing of a Gaulish word for barter or exchange. The same Gaulish-derived root spread across the Romance languages, which is why the family resemblance is so strong.
