Etymology
Romanian borrowed "inspector" during the 19th-century modernization of its vocabulary, when French and Latin supplied thousands of new administrative and scientific terms. The immediate source is French "inspecteur", reinforced by the learned Latin form "inspector", both built on the verb "inspicere", to look into or examine. The word entered Romanian ready-made as an agent noun, alongside "inspecta" and "inspecție".
