Etymology
Romanian borrowed "sutien" from French "soutien" (as in "soutien-gorge"), meaning support. The French noun comes from the verb "soutenir", to hold up or support, itself from Latin "sub-" (under) plus "tenere" (to hold). Romanian adapted the French word directly as a neuter noun rather than building it from native roots.
