Etymology
Romanian "vot" comes from Latin "votum," the neuter past participle of "vovere," meaning to vow or pledge solemnly. The word entered modern Romanian in the 19th century through French "vote," as part of a wave of political and administrative vocabulary borrowed during the country's modernization. The same Latin root gave English both "vote" and "vow."
