Etymology
Urgent entered Romanian from French urgent during the nineteenth century, part of a large wave of French and Latin vocabulary that reshaped the modern Romanian lexicon. French urgent continues Latin urgens, urgentis, the present participle of urgere, meaning to press or to drive forward. The same Latin verb gave English its verb urge, borrowed separately and centuries earlier.
