Etymology
Romanian borrowed "stand" from French, which had itself taken the word from English "stand", a place where one stands to display goods. The English noun goes back to the verb "to stand", from Old English standan. Romanian adopted the word directly in the 19th-20th century for trade fairs and exhibitions, keeping the original spelling and adding the native plural ending "-uri".
