Definitiv entered Romanian from French définitif, itself from Latin definitivus, an adjective built on the verb definire, "to set bounds, to define." That verb combines de- with finire, "to end," from finis, "boundary, end." The word thus carries the old sense of something fixed at its outer limit, with nothing left open.
