Etymology

Romanian borrowed "evident" from French "évident" during the 19th-century modernization of its vocabulary, when many Latinate and French words entered the language. The French word descends from Latin "evidens, evidentis," the present participle of "evidere," formed from "ex-" ("out") and "videre" ("to see"). The Latin root traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root for seeing.
