Etymology
Adaptare is the noun formed from the verb a adapta, to adapt. Romanian took this verb from French adapter, which itself goes back to Latin adaptare, a combination of ad (to, toward) and aptare (to fit), from aptus (fitted, suited). The Romanian suffix -are, normally the long infinitive ending, doubles as a common way to build action nouns from verbs, so adaptare literally reads as the fitting of a verb into noun form.
