Etymology
Romanian borrowed "situație" from French "situation" in the nineteenth century, during a period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language's vocabulary along Western Romance lines. French "situation" itself descends from Latin "situs", meaning position or site, extended through the noun-forming suffix "-atio". The word entered Romanian as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that replaced or supplemented older Slavic-derived terms.
