Etymology

Romanian borrowed "aparent" from French "apparent", which comes from Latin "apparens", the present participle of "apparere", meaning "to appear, come into view". The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin vocabulary that reshaped the modern literary language. It kept both the adjective sense (seeming, not real) and the adverb sense (apparently) that Latin and French already carried.
