Etymology
Romanian borrowed "activ" from French "actif", itself descended from Latin "activus". The Latin word derives from the verb "agere", meaning to drive or to do, plus the adjectival suffix "-ivus". Romanian took the word through modern French and Latin re-borrowing during its 19th-century modernization, alongside many other abstract and technical terms.
