Etymology
Romanian borrowed "realitate" from French "réalité" in the 19th century, when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language's vocabulary along French and Latin lines. French "réalité" goes back to Medieval Latin "realitas, realitatem", built from "res" (thing) plus the adjective suffix "-alis" and the abstract-noun suffix "-itas". The word entered most European languages this way, so its form stayed close to the Latin original across borrowings.
