Etymology
Fericit is the past participle of the verb a ferici, meaning to make happy or to bless, used today as an ordinary adjective. The verb goes back to the Latin adjective felix, felicem, meaning happy or fortunate. Romanian kept this Latin word alive in daily speech, while most other Romance languages simplified its descendants into shorter adjectives like felice or feliz.
