Etymology
Romanian borrowed "activa" from French "activer" in the nineteenth century, during a period when Romanian absorbed many French verbs to modernize its vocabulary. The French verb traces back to Latin "activus" (active, practical), itself from "agere" (to do, to drive, to set in motion). Romanian simply added its own first-conjugation infinitive ending to the borrowed stem.
