Etymology

Romanian a exista is a modern borrowing from French exister, part of the wave of French and Latin vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. The French verb goes back to Latin exsistere, built from ex- ("out") and sistere ("to stand, to take a stand"), itself a reduplicated form of stare. The underlying sense is "to stand out" or "to come into being."
