Etymology
Conducător is built from the Romanian verb a conduce, meaning to lead or to drive, plus the agentive suffix -ător, meaning one who does something. A conduce comes from Latin conducere, to bring together or lead, formed from con- and ducere, to lead. Ducere traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to lead or pull.
