Etymology
Romanian took "urgent" from French "urgent", which goes back to Latin "urgens, urgentis", the present participle of "urgere", to press or push hard. The Latin verb traces to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to push or shove. The word entered Romanian in the modern period, alongside many other French-derived terms of law, administration, and medicine.
