Etymology

Romanian "student" was borrowed in the 19th century, during the modernization and re-Latinization of Romanian vocabulary, from French "étudiant" and Latin "studens" (genitive "studentis"), the present participle of "studere", meaning to be eager for or to apply oneself to something. This period saw Romanian absorb many learned words from French and Latin to replace or supplement older Slavic-derived terms. The word entered educated and administrative use alongside the modern university system.
