Etymology
Impuls entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin-based neologisms that modernized the vocabulary. It traces back to Latin impulsus, the past participle of impellere, meaning to push or drive against something. Romanian took the word largely through French impulsion and German Impuls, both descended from the same Latin root.
