Etymology
Posibil entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a deliberate push to align the language with its Latin relatives, borrowed directly from French possible and reinforced by the Latin source possibilis. It replaced older, more roundabout ways of expressing possibility. The Latin possibilis itself comes from posse, meaning to be able, plus the adjectival ending -ibilis, meaning able to be done.
