Etymology
Indiciu comes from Latin indicium, meaning a sign, a disclosure, or evidence pointing to something. Indicium itself derives from index, indicis, the Latin word for a pointer or indicator, built on the verb indicare, to point out or make known. Romanian borrowed the word directly from Latin (reinforced by French and Italian usage) as part of the modern learned vocabulary that entered the language in the 19th century.
