Etymology
Discuție entered Romanian in the 19th century, during the period when the language was reshaped with French and Latin vocabulary. It comes from French discussion, itself from Latin discussio, a noun built on discutere, to shake apart or examine closely. The Romanian ending was adapted to the native pattern -ție, the same pattern seen in words like națiune becoming nație.
