Etymology
Trupă came into Romanian from French troupe, which itself traces back through Old French to Late Latin troppus, meaning a flock or herd. The exact source of troppus is debated but is often linked to a Germanic word for a gathered group. Romanian borrowed the word in its modern sense of a body of performers or soldiers, not from the native Slavic-derived trup, which means body and is a separate word despite the resemblance.
