Etymology
Discuție comes from French discussion, itself from Latin discussio, discussionem, a noun built on discutere, meaning to shake apart or examine closely. The Latin verb combines dis- (apart) with quatere (to shake or strike). Romanian adapted the French word with its native abstract-noun ending -ie, giving discuție.
