Etymology

Comisie entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin-based vocabulary that modernized the language. It traces back to Latin commissio, commissionis, a noun built on committere, meaning to entrust or bring together, itself from com- (together) and mittere (to send). The word denotes a group of people entrusted with a specific task, a sense it keeps in Romanian today.
