Etymology
Iertat is the past participle of the verb a ierta, to forgive. Romanian dictionaries trace a ierta to the Vulgar Latin verb libertare, meaning to free or set at liberty, itself built on liber, free. Over time the sense narrowed from a general freeing to the specific act of releasing someone from blame or debt. This makes iertat a distant cousin of words built on the Latin root for freedom rather than of any word meaning error or sin.
