fericithappyfericirehappinessEtymology
Felicitare is a noun built from the verb a felicita, to congratulate, using the common Romanian pattern where the long infinitive doubles as a noun (compare a lucra, to work, and lucrare, a piece of work). A felicita entered Romanian through French féliciter, which traces back to Latin felicitare, to make happy or fortunate. That Latin verb comes from felix, felicis, meaning happy or fruitful.
