Etymology
The origin of sculă is not fully settled among Romanian etymologists. Dictionaries generally mark it as coming from a South Slavic source tied to the idea of a fitted-out object or implement, but the exact root word is uncertain. In Romanian it settled into the everyday meaning of a hand tool, and it later produced trade terms like sculărie for a tool workshop.
