Etymology
Romanian borrowed "sport" in the 19th century from French, which had taken it back from English. English "sport" itself started as a shortening of "disport," from Old French "desport," meaning amusement or diversion. That noun traces to Latin "deportare," literally "to carry away," built from "de-" and "portare," to carry.
