Etymology
Tipă is the feminine counterpart of tip, a colloquial Romanian word for "guy" or "fellow" borrowed from French type. Romanian speakers added the native feminine noun ending -ă to form tipă, meaning "girl" or "chick" in casual speech. The word entered everyday slang in the 20th century and stayed informal, never crossing into formal registers.
