Etymology
Capacitate entered Romanian from French capacité, itself from Latin capacitas, capacitatis. The Latin noun derives from capax, meaning able to hold or contain, which comes from the verb capere, to take or seize. The word kept its core sense of holding power, whether of a container, a machine, or a person's abilities.
