Etymology
Romanian borrowed "a contacta" in the modern era from French "contacter", adding the native infinitive ending "-a" to form a regular first-conjugation verb. French "contacter" itself derives from "contact", which traces to Latin "contactus", the past participle of "contingere" ("con-" together, plus "tangere" to touch). The Latin root "tangere" goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root for touching or handling.
