Etymology
Romanian "contract" comes from Latin "contractus," the past participle of "contrahere," meaning to draw together or to bring parties into an agreement. The word likely entered Romanian through French "contrat" during the 19th-century wave of Western European borrowings that modernized Romanian legal and commercial vocabulary. The Latin root itself has no firmly established Indo-European ancestor, so its deeper origin stays uncertain.
