Etymology
Romanian borrowed "inteligent" from French "intelligent" in the nineteenth century, during the period when Romanian consciously rebuilt its vocabulary on Romance models. The French word descends from Latin "intelligentem," the present participle of "intelligere," meaning to understand or perceive. That verb combines "inter" (between) with "legere" (to gather, choose, or read), so the core sense is discerning one thing from another.
