Etymology
Secretară is the feminine form of secretar, borrowed by Romanian in the 19th century from French secrétaire, itself from Latin secretarius, meaning a confidential officer or clerk. Secretarius derives from secretus, past participle of secernere, to separate or set apart. The word entered Romanian as part of a wave of French-influenced vocabulary during the modernization of Romanian institutions.
