Etymology
Tabără entered Romanian as a loanword, most likely through Hungarian tábor, itself part of a wider Balkan and Central European word family for 'camp'. That family traces back to a Turkic term for a military camp or wagon fort, spread through the region by Ottoman contact. The word is not inherited from Latin, which sets it apart from most core Romanian vocabulary.
