Etymology
Necesar comes from Latin necessarius, meaning unavoidable or required. That word is built on necesse, which combines the negative prefix ne- with a form related to cedere, to yield or withdraw. Something necessarius is, at its root, something one cannot get away from. Romanian took the word directly from Latin or through French influence during the 19th-century modernization of its vocabulary.
