pasiunepassion (shared Latin root pati)Etymology
Pacientă is the feminine form of pacient, borrowed into Romanian from French patient, itself from Latin patiens, the present participle of pati, meaning to suffer or endure. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized Romanian medical and scientific vocabulary. The original Latin sense of enduring suffering explains both the medical meaning, someone under a doctor's care, and the adjectival meaning, someone who tolerates delay calmly.
