Etymology
Profesoară is the feminine form of profesor, borrowed by Romanian from French professeur, itself from Latin professor, meaning one who declares publicly or teaches openly. Romanian added the native feminine agent suffix -oară to the masculine base to mark a female teacher. The same -or to -oară pattern shows up in other Romanian agent nouns borrowed or built the same way.
