Etymology
Romanian borrowed "situație" from French "situation" during the nineteenth-century modernization of the language, when many abstract nouns entered Romanian through French and Latin. The French word traces to Medieval Latin "situatio", built on "situs", meaning position or place, the past participle of the verb "sinere", to leave or set down. The Romanian ending "-ție" is the local reflex of the Latin abstract-noun suffix "-tio", seen in many similar borrowings.
