acțiuneactionEtymology
Romanian borrowed "agenție" from French "agence" in the nineteenth century, during a period when Romanian actively modernized its vocabulary with French terms. The French word traces back to Medieval Latin "agentia", built on the verb "agere", meaning to do or to act. The same Latin root gave Romanian the word "agent", which forms the visible base of "agenție".
