Etymology
Romanian "probă" comes from Latin "proba", a noun tied to the verb "probare", meaning to test, approve, or judge good. "Probare" itself derives from "probus", meaning upright or good. The word likely reached Romanian partly through French "épreuve" and Italian "prova", which reinforced the Latin base already present in the language.
