Etymology
Forță entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of French and Italian borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary. It traces back to Latin fortia, a form tied to fortis, meaning strong. Latin fortis itself has a disputed origin, so no further root can be stated with confidence.
