Etymology
Discuta entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary. It traces back to Latin discutere, literally to shake apart or scatter, which developed the figurative sense of examining a matter by turning it over from different sides. Romanian took the word through French discuter rather than by direct inheritance from Latin.
