Etymology
Romanian borrowed "sector" as a modern neologism from French "secteur" and Latin "sector", both going back to the Latin verb "secare", meaning to cut. The original sense was a cut-off piece, like a slice of a circle in geometry. From there the word spread to mean a defined area or a distinct part of an economy or administration.
