I see more Slavic roots in here - in Polish it's "ocet", which is basically pronounced just the same. :)

Yes, Romanian does have slavic roots, being situated between Bulgaria, Serbia and Ukraine. An example is vreme (time, weather). It even has Hungarian and Turkish roots (such as tutun = tobacco). What do you expect from a language surrounded by languages from other families.

Both Romanian 'oţet' and Polish 'ocet'/Ukrainian 'оцет' come from the Latin 'acetum'.

Interestingly enough, the loanword here isn't South Slavic but Western Slavic. In Serbian, "vinegar" is "sirće."

Seems like the Serbian is from from Persian/Turkish "serkeh"/"sirke" :)

Ooh, probably. We do have a lot of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish loanwords because of the Ottoman conquest. Thanks!

It should be stressed/accentuated on the last syllable, IMHO.
