Etymology
Romanian borrowed "efect" from French "effet" and Latin "effectus" during the 19th-century modernization of the language, when many Latin-based scientific and administrative terms replaced older Slavic or Greek borrowings. "Effectus" is the past participle of Latin "efficere," meaning to bring about or accomplish, itself built from "ex-" (out) and "facere" (to do, to make). The core sense of something produced or brought forth by a cause has stayed stable across languages.
