Etymology

Romanian borrowed "a indica" from French "indiquer" and Latin "indicare" during the nineteenth-century push to re-Latinize the language. The Latin verb combines the prefix "in-" with "dicare", a form tied to "dicere", to say or declare. The core sense stayed stable across languages: to point something out by word or sign.
