raportreport, accountEtymology
Romanian borrowed "reporter" in the 19th century from French, which itself took the word from English. The English term traces back to Latin "reportare", meaning to carry back or bring back, from "re-" (back) and "portare" (to carry). The sense shifted from someone who literally carries news back to someone who writes it up for the public.
