Etymology
Romanian borrowed "whisky" directly from English in the twentieth century, along with the spirit itself, as trade and Western drinking culture spread. English in turn took the word from Scottish Gaelic "uisge beatha", meaning "water of life", itself a translation of the Latin "aqua vitae". The word entered Romanian as a fixed loan and did not go through the sound changes that native words undergo.
