Etymology
Romanian borrowed "transport" from French "transport" during the nineteenth-century modernization of the language, when many administrative and technical terms entered from French. The French word itself comes from Latin "transportare", built from "trans-" (across) and "portare" (to carry). The same Latin root gave Romanian its own native verb "a purta" (to carry, to wear).
