Etymology

Traducere is the noun form of the verb a traduce, which Romanian borrowed from French traduire, itself from Latin traducere, meaning to lead across or transfer. The Latin word is built from trans- (across) and ducere (to lead). Romanian regularly turns long infinitives into action nouns, so traduce plus the infinitive ending -re gave traducere, the act or result of translating.
