Etymology

Regulat is the Latin past participle regulatus, from regulare, to regulate, itself built on regula, a rule or straightedge. Romanian took the word into its modern vocabulary in the 19th century, along with regulă and regulament, as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that reshaped the language's technical and administrative terms. At its core the word marks something that follows a fixed rule or pattern, hence regular or set right.
