Summary/Abstract: This contribution is presented as a continuation and exemplification of the ideas expressed in the work Tracce e influenze italiane nella terminologia economico-finanziaria e commerciale romena. Percorsi storico-linguistici tra memoria e oblio (Quaestionaes Romanicae IX), proposing a corpus-based Romanian economic, financial and commercial glossary in order to illustrate the dynamic relationship between the Romanian and Italian language, as well as between diversity and identity. This linguistic tool also offers us the possibility to follow which Romanian terms can be identified in the Italian unique etymology and which, on the other hand, are related to the problem of "multiple etymology" in the lexicographical works consulted. Furthermore, the glossary indicates the first attestations of these terms not only in Italian and Romanian, but also in French and German, referring to valuable lexicographical works and thus also allowing a historical-linguistic comparison of the lemmas taken into consideration in the languages mentioned.
