Etymology

Rezonabil entered Romanian from French raisonnable, which goes back to Latin ratio, rationis, meaning reckoning or reason. The word is unrelated to Romanian rezona (to resonate), which comes from a different Latin root, resonare, to sound again. Despite the similar look, one word is about thought and judgment, the other about sound.
