Etymology
Romanian "agent" was borrowed from French "agent" in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian vocabulary was heavily reshaped by French and Latin models. The French word goes back to Latin "agens, agentis", the present participle of "agere", meaning to do, drive, or act. The core sense, one who acts or carries out a task, has stayed stable across all three languages.
