Etymology
Romanian borrowed "sinceritate" from French "sincérité" during the nineteenth-century push to re-Latinize the language after centuries of Slavic and Greek influence. The French word itself descends from Latin "sinceritas, sinceritatis", built on the adjective "sincerus", meaning pure or genuine. The Romanian form kept the Latin-French abstract noun suffix nearly intact, which is why it reads as a near-transparent cognate to an English speaker.
