Etymology
Parcurs comes from the Latin percursus, the past participle of percurrere, formed from per- (through) and currere (to run). Romanian a parcurge kept this sense of running or moving through a distance, and parcurs split off as a noun and adjective meaning the route or distance covered. The word likely reached Romanian through French parcours as much as directly from Latin, common for 19th-century vocabulary modernization.
