Etymology
Romanian borrowed "anchetă" from French "enquête" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian's modern vocabulary. The French word itself descends from Latin "inquirere", meaning to seek into or ask after. The Latin verb splits into the prefix "in-" (into) and "quaerere" (to seek, ask), the same root behind English "inquire" and "question".
