Etymology
Acțiune came into Romanian from French action, which in turn descends from Latin actio, actionis, a noun built on the verb agere, meaning to do or drive. Romanian reshaped the French ending -ion into its own abstract-noun suffix -iune, a pattern seen across many learned borrowings. The financial sense of share and the legal sense of lawsuit both ride along with the core meaning of a deed or an act carried out.
