Etymology
Romanian borrowed "dentist" from French "dentiste" in the 19th century, during the wave of Latin-Romance vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. The French word itself was built from Latin "dens, dentis" (tooth) plus the agent suffix "-iste". The root goes back to a very old Indo-European word for tooth.
