Etymology
Convingător is built from the verb a convinge, meaning to convince, plus the agentive suffix -ător, which turns a verb into a doing or quality adjective. A convinge itself comes from Latin convincere, a combination of con- (together, thoroughly) and vincere (to conquer, to win). The word entered Romanian as part of the wave of Latin-based vocabulary that shaped the modern standard language.
