Etymology
Consiliu comes from Latin consilium, meaning deliberation, plan, or counsel. That Latin word is traditionally linked to consulere, to consult or take counsel together. Romanian inherited it directly from Latin, and the word kept its institutional sense of a deliberating body rather than the looser sense of personal advice.
