Etymology
Gravidă comes from Latin gravida, the feminine form of gravidus, meaning heavy or pregnant. That adjective is built on gravis, heavy, the same root that gave Romanian its words for gravity and seriousness. The word entered Romanian as part of the learned Latin layer of the vocabulary, alongside the older, more popular term însărcinată.
