Etymology
Romanian borrowed "facultate" from French "faculté", which itself comes from Latin "facultas, facultatis", meaning ability or capacity. The Latin word traces to "facilis" (easy) and the verb "facere" (to do, to make). The academic sense, a branch of a university, developed in medieval Latin and passed into the modern Romance languages.
