Etymology
Romanian borrowed "demisie" from French "démission" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French administrative vocabulary that entered the language as Romania modernized its state institutions. The French word traces to Latin "demissio", a noun formed from "de-" (down, away) plus "mittere" (to send). Romanian reshaped the French "-ssion" ending into the native-feeling suffix "-isie", the same pattern seen in "comisie" (commission) and "emisie" (emission).
