I doubt it, because they've always been a very isolated people, living within an area behind a natural barrier.
More likely, the word was common to Dacian and some Thracian dialects that influenced Albanian.
I don't see how such a small people like Albanians could have influenced a much larger population of proto-Romanians that were scattered over a very large area both south and north of the Danube, extending all the way up into what is today Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia.
