Incredibil is a learned borrowing tied to the wave of Latin and Romance vocabulary that entered Romanian in the 19th century, when scholars reshaped the language's word stock using Latin and Italian and French models. It traces to Latin incredibilis, built from the negative prefix in- and credibilis, believable, itself from credere, to believe. The verb credere comes from a very old Indo-European compound meaning to place one's heart or trust in something.
