Etymology
Romanian borrowed "argument" from French "argument", which itself continues Latin "argumentum", a noun of means built on the verb "arguere", "to make clear, to prove". The Latin verb traces back to a root meaning "to shine" or "white", the same idea behind the brightness of proof. Romanian kept the neuter gender typical of Latin loanwords ending in -ment.
