Adecvat entered Romanian through French adéquat, itself from Latin adaequatus, the past participle of adaequare, to make equal to. The Latin verb combines the prefix ad- (toward) with aequare (to make equal), from aequus (equal, level). Romanian adopted the word in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized its formal vocabulary.
