Etymology
Romanian borrowed "ambasadă" from French "ambassade" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian civic and administrative language in the 19th century. French took the word from Italian "ambasciata", which traces back to a Vulgar Latin derivative of "ambactus", a Latin term of Gaulish origin meaning a servant or one sent on a mission. The core sense of a person dispatched to represent another carried through each borrowing, ending up in Romanian as the building or mission that represents a foreign state.
