Etymology

Soție derives from soț, the Romanian word for husband, which comes from Latin socius, meaning companion or ally. The suffix -ie forms the feminine counterpart, so soție literally built on the idea of a female companion or partner. This Latin root also gave Romanian words like societate (society) and asociat (associate).
