Etymology
Romanian borrowed "efort" from French "effort" in the modern era, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary in the 19th century. The French word traces back to Latin "fortis", meaning strong, through a Vulgar Latin verb "exfortiare", to exert strength. The core sense, a pushing-out of strength, has stayed intact across all three languages.
