Etymology

Romanian borrowed "director" from French "directeur", itself from Latin "director", an agent noun built on the verb "dirigere", to guide or set straight. The Latin verb combines the prefix "dis-" with "regere", to rule or guide. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as the modern administrative and educational system took shape.
