Etymology
Învățat is the past participle of a învăța, meaning to learn or to teach. Romanian dictionaries trace a învăța to the Latin verb invitiare, built on vitium, a word that in everyday Latin had shifted from fault toward habit or custom. The underlying idea is training someone into a habit, which is why one verb in Romanian covers both learning and teaching.
