Etymology
Romanian "practic" entered the language in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings tied to modern education and administration. It traces to Latin "practicus", itself from Greek "praktikos" (πρακτικός), meaning fit for action or suited to doing. The Greek word comes from "prattein" (πράττειν), to do or to accomplish.
