Etymology

Romanian borrowed "inginer" from French "ingénieur" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French technical vocabulary that entered Romanian during its modernization. The French word traces to Latin "ingenium", meaning innate talent or natural capacity, from "in-" plus the verb "gignere", to beget or produce. The sense narrowed over centuries from general cleverness to the specific practice of designing machines and structures.
