Etymology
Romanian borrowed "profit" from French "profit" in the modern era, as part of the wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. The French word traces to Latin "profectus", the past participle of "proficere", meaning to advance or be useful. "Proficere" itself is built from "pro-" (forward) and "facere" (to make or do).
