Etymology
Romanian "act" is a 19th century borrowing from French "acte", which comes from Latin "actus", the past participle of "agere" (to do, to drive). It entered Romanian during the wave of Latinate and French neologisms that modernized the language's vocabulary, replacing older native ways of referring to formal papers. The word kept its Latin core meaning of a formal deed or record of an action.
