Etymology
Romanian "doctor" comes from Latin "doctor", meaning teacher or one who instructs, from the verb "docere", to teach. The word entered modern Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of Latin and French relatinization that reshaped Romanian vocabulary. It kept both its academic sense, a person who holds a doctorate, and its everyday sense, a medical practitioner.
