Etymology
Romanian borrowed "a solicita" from French "solliciter" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of Latin-based vocabulary that modernized the language. The French word traces to Latin "sollicitare", meaning to disturb or stir up, built from "sollicitus" (agitated, anxious). That adjective in turn combines "sollus" (whole, entire) with "citus" (roused), the past participle of "ciere" (to set in motion).
