Etymology
Gratuit entered Romanian from French gratuit, which comes from Latin gratuitus, meaning given without payment or reason. Latin gratuitus is built on gratus, pleasing or thankful, the same root behind grace and gratitude. Over time the word kept its core sense of no cost, and picked up a second, figurative sense of unearned or unjustified.
