Etymology
Oportunitate entered Romanian from French opportunité, itself from Latin opportunitas. The Latin adjective opportunus meant fitting or favorable, and originally described a wind blowing toward the harbor (ob- plus portus, harbor). Over time the word broadened from a literal favorable wind to any favorable circumstance or moment.
