Etymology
Credință comes from Latin credentia, an abstract noun built on credens, the present participle of credere, meaning to believe or trust. The word passed into Romanian through ordinary spoken Latin, unlike some later learned borrowings. The same Latin root gave English words like credence and creed through different paths.
