Etymology
Romanian borrowed "regie" from French "régie" in the 19th century, when the word denoted state administration of a monopoly, such as tobacco or salt. French "régie" itself traces to Latin "regere", meaning to rule or direct. Over the 20th century the Romanian word narrowed in everyday use to the specific sense of directing a film, play, or broadcast, the meaning most speakers reach for today.
