Etymology
Romanian borrowed "total" from French "total" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French vocabulary that entered Romanian during the 19th century. The French word itself descends from Late Latin "totalis", an adjective built on Latin "totus", meaning whole or entire. Romanian already had a native word from the same Latin root, "tot" (all, everything), inherited directly rather than borrowed, so "total" and "tot" are doublets with a shared ancestor but separate paths into the language.
