Etymology
Corect entered Romanian in the 19th century, when scholars reshaped the language's vocabulary by borrowing directly from French and Latin. It traces to Latin correctus, the past participle of corrigere, to correct or straighten out. That verb is built from com- (thoroughly) plus regere, to guide or rule in a straight line.
