Etymology
Reacție entered Romanian from French réaction in the 19th century, during the wave of Latin-Romance borrowings that modernized Romanian vocabulary. The French word itself derives from Medieval Latin reactio, built from the prefix re- (back, again) and actio (a doing, an action), from the verb agere (to do, to drive). The Latin verb agere traces to the same root as English act and agent.
