Etymology
Romanian took "concert" from French "concert", which itself came from Italian "concerto". The Italian word traces to Latin "concertare", built from "con-" (together) and "certare" (to strive, to contend). Over time the sense shifted from a contest of skill to a joint musical performance, and Romanian kept that modern, narrower meaning.
