Etymology

Romanian borrowed "specialist" from French "spécialiste" in the 19th century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that modernized Romanian. The French word itself was built from "spécial" (from Latin "specialis", meaning particular or specific) plus the agent suffix "-iste". Latin "specialis" derives from "species" (appearance, kind), tied to the verb "specere" (to look at).
