Etymology
Obținere is the verbal noun of a obține, to obtain. Romanian took the verb in the 19th century from French obtenir, with reinforcement from the Latin source obtinere, as part of the wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized Romanian's administrative and abstract vocabulary. The noun form simply attaches the standard -ere ending used for verbal nouns of this conjugation class.
