Etymology

Bineînțeles is a compound of bine (well), from Latin bene, and înțeles (understood), the past participle of a înțelege (to understand), which traces to Latin intellegere. Together the parts mean well understood. Over time the phrase fused into a single word used to mark something as self-evident, much like English of course.
