băiat
Romanian
Etymology
Precise etymology unknown. Possibly derived from bărbat (“man”). Other theories suggest, due to its original meaning as a servant or working boy, from Vulgar Latin *bailliator or *bailiatus, from *bailliare, from *bailare, from Latin baiulāre (“carry a burden”), from a derivative of the verb băia (compare îmbăia), possibly related to the aforementioned verb, or from Medieval Latin balietus, from baietus (“page, serving boy”).[1]
