Etymology
Romanian borrowed "tip" from French "type" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. French "type" goes back to Greek "typos", meaning a mark, impression, or model, from the verb "typtein", to strike. The sense moved from a physical stamped impression to an abstract category or model.
