Etymology
Tablou entered Romanian from French tableau, meaning painting or picture. Tableau itself comes from Old French tablel, a diminutive of table, which traces to Latin tabula, a board or plank used for writing or painting. The ultimate origin of Latin tabula is uncertain, so no reliable deeper root can be given.
