certificatcertificateEtymology
Romanian "cert" comes from Latin "certus", the past participle of "cernere", meaning to sift, distinguish, or decide. Its modern form was also reinforced by French "certain" during the 19th-century wave of relatinization of Romanian vocabulary. The core idea, something sifted out and settled, carried over cleanly into the modern sense of "certain" or "established beyond doubt".
