înțeleptwisebinewellEtymology
The word is a fusion of "bine" (well) and "înțeles" (understood, the past participle of "a înțelege", to understand). "Bine" descends from Latin "bene". "Înțelege" comes from Latin "intellegere", built from "inter-" and "legere" (to gather, read). Together the phrase means literally "well understood" and came to function as a fixed adverb meaning "of course".
