Etymology
Romanian borrowed "artist" from French "artiste" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary. The French word goes back to Latin "ars, artis", meaning skill or craft. The Latin noun itself traces to the Proto-Indo-European root for fitting or joining things together, the same root that gives Latin its sense of technical skill.
