Etymology
Siguranță is built from the Romanian adjective sigur, meaning sure or safe, plus the abstract-noun suffix -anță. Sigur itself traces back to Latin securus, which combines se- (apart from) and cura (care or worry), so the underlying sense is being free of worry. The suffix -anță is a Romance pattern, seen also in French -ance and Italian -anza, used to turn a quality into a noun naming that quality.
