Acțiune entered Romanian from French action in the 19th century, part of a wave of Latin-based vocabulary that modernized the language. The French word itself descends from Latin actio, actionem, a noun built on actus, the past participle of agere, meaning to do or to drive. The word later picked up the extra sense of a company share, following the same shift that happened in French and English.
