Etymology
Romanian borrowed "progres" from French "progrès" in the 19th century, during a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. The French word goes back to Latin "progressus", a noun formed from "progredi", meaning to advance. That verb combines "pro-" (forward) with "gradi" (to step, to walk).
