Where this word comes from

An originally popular (now standard language) alternative of dos (“back”). From Romanian spată (“shoulder blade”), in particular the phrase în spate (“backwards, behind”), having developed in the sense of: through / across the shoulder blades > backwards, before developing into a concrete noun (without the în) to express the back of objects in general.
