Etymology
Romanian "speranță" comes from Latin "sperantia", an abstract noun built on "sperans, sperantis", the present participle of "sperare", to hope. It belongs to the oldest Latin layer of Romanian vocabulary, alongside the related verb "a spera". The same Latin root gave Italian "speranza", French "espérance", and Spanish and Portuguese "esperanza"/"esperança".
