Etymology
Suporta entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. It traces to Latin supportare, from sub- (under, from below) and portare (to carry). The same Latin root gave French supporter and Italian sopportare, both close matches in meaning and form.
