Etymology
Terminat is the past participle of a termina, which Romanian inherited from Latin terminare, meaning to set a boundary or bring something to an end. Terminare itself comes from terminus, the Roman word for a boundary marker or limit stone. The sense shifted over time from marking a physical border to reaching the end of any task or process.
