Etymology
Probabil comes from Latin probabilis, meaning worthy of approval or provable. That adjective was built from the verb probare, to test or prove, which in turn derives from probus, meaning good or upright. Romanian took the word through the same learned Latin channel as French probable and Italian probabile, rather than through inherited everyday speech.
