Etymology
Comitet entered Romanian in the 19th century through French comité and German Komitee, part of a wave of Western administrative vocabulary adopted during Romania's modernization. Both source words trace back to Latin committere, built from com- (together) and mittere (to send). The underlying sense is of people sent or joined together to handle a task.
