Etymology
Calitate comes from Latin qualitas, qualitatem, the abstract noun built from qualis, meaning 'of what kind'. Romanian inherited it through the ordinary Latin-to-Romanian sound changes, with qu- simplifying to c- and the Latin suffix -itatem becoming -itate. The same suffix appears in many other Romanian abstract nouns borrowed or inherited from Latin, such as cantitate and realitate.
