Etymology
Securitate entered Romanian in the 19th century from French sécurité, part of a deliberate push to re-Latinize the vocabulary after centuries of Slavic and Ottoman influence. Both the French word and the Romanian one go back to Latin securitas, built from securus, free from care, itself se- (without) plus cura (care, worry). Romanian also kept an older, popularly inherited descendant of securus: the everyday word sigur, sure or safe, so the two words are doublets from the same Latin ancestor.
