Etymology

Comisar entered Romanian in the 19th century through French commissaire, part of a wave of French administrative vocabulary adopted during Romania's modernization. The French word traces to medieval Latin commissarius, a person entrusted with a task, from committere, to entrust or commit. The Romanian form was reshaped to end in the native agent suffix -ar.
