History
From Romani rrom (“Romani man”), probably ultimately from Sanskrit डोम (ḍoma, “member of a low caste of travelling musicians and dancers”). See some more information at Roma. Doublet of Dom. The other major categories of words for the Roma are cognates of Gypsy (words related to Egypt) and cognates of tzigane (words derived from Greek); see those entries for more information. Not related to Romanian or Roman.
In all senses (except Romania in sports), by acronymy.
Back-formation from Romford.
