Etymology

Personalitate entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of the wave of French-based vocabulary that modernized the language. It was built from personal, itself from Latin personalis, plus the abstract-noun suffix -itate. The root goes back to Latin persona, meaning a mask worn by an actor, and later a character or individual.
