Etymology
Mandat came into Romanian from French mandat, which traces back to Latin mandatum, meaning something entrusted or commanded. The Latin word is the past participle of mandare, to entrust or order, itself built from manus (hand) and dare (to give). The root sense is handing over a task or authority to someone.
