Etymology
Limpede comes from the Latin adjective limpidus, meaning clear or transparent. Romanian inherited it directly through everyday speech rather than through a later borrowing, so it kept a plain, native feel despite its learned-sounding relatives in other languages. The same Latin root gave English the more formal word limpid.
