Etymology
Romanian borrowed "compromis" from French "compromis", which goes back to Latin "compromissum", a mutual pledge to accept an arbiter's decision. The Latin noun comes from "compromittere", built from "com-" (together) and "promittere" (to promise). The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin vocabulary that modernized the language.
