Etymology
Romanian borrowed "contact" from French "contact" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French loanwords in the 19th century. French took it from Latin "contactus", meaning a touching or a being in touch, the past participle of "contingere", to touch on all sides. That verb combines "com-" (together) with "tangere" (to touch).
