Etymology
Loialitate is built from the adjective loial, meaning loyal, plus the Romanian abstract-noun suffix -itate. Loial itself came into Romanian through French loyal, which descends from Old French loial, from Latin legalis, meaning lawful. The suffix -itate goes back to Latin -itas, -itatis, the same ending seen in English words like reality and morality.
