Etymology
The word comes from French "indifférent", itself from Latin "indifferens" (genitive "indifferentem"). The Latin form combines the negative prefix "in-" with "differens", the present participle of "differre", meaning to carry apart or to differ. Romanian borrowed it as part of the wave of French and Latin-based vocabulary that reshaped the language in the 19th century.
