Etymology
Romanian "tară" is a commercial loanword, not an inherited native term. It came through Italian "tara" and French "tare", both ultimately from Arabic, where the word denoted a deduction or discount. Mediterranean trade language carried the term into most European commercial vocabularies, including Romanian, where it kept its narrow meaning of packaging weight.
