Etymology
Romanian borrowed "suport" from French "support", which goes back to Latin "supportare", built from "sub-" (under) and "portare" (to carry). Romanian also inherited "purta" (to carry, to wear) directly from the same Latin verb, so the two words are distant relatives inside Romanian itself. The core sense stayed close to the Latin: something that carries or holds something else up.
