Etymology
Posibilitate entered Romanian in the 19th century, during the period when scholars reshaped the language by borrowing heavily from French and Latin. It traces back to Latin possibilitas, itself built from possibilis, meaning able to be done. Possibilis in turn comes from posse, to be able, formed from potis, powerful, and esse, to be.
