Etymology
Intimitate came into Romanian from French intimité in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French borrowings that reshaped Romanian's abstract vocabulary. French intimité goes back to Latin intimus, meaning innermost, which is the superlative form of interior or in. The Romanian suffix -itate matches the French -ité and Latin -itas, the standard ending for abstract quality nouns in these languages.
