exactexactly, preciselyEtymology
Romanian "exact" was borrowed in the 19th century from French "exact", itself from Latin "exactus", the past participle of "exigere" (to drive out, to weigh out, to complete precisely). This borrowing was part of a broader wave of French and Latin vocabulary that entered Romanian as the language modernized and re-Latinized. "Exigere" itself breaks down into "ex-" (out) plus "agere" (to drive, to do).
