Etymology

Recomanda entered Romanian from French recommander, itself built on Latin commendare, to entrust or commend. Commendare in turn comes from manus, hand, plus dare, to give, so the underlying image is placing something into someone's hand for safekeeping. Romanian later added its own prefix re- on top of the native verb comanda, to order or command, which came from the same French family.
