Etymology

Fericită is the feminine form of fericit, the past participle of the old verb a ferici, meaning to make happy or to bless. That verb was built on the archaic Romanian adjective ferice, happy or fortunate, which descends from Latin felix, felicem. The change from Latin l to Romanian r is a regular sound shift seen in other words, such as Latin filum becoming Romanian fir.
