Etymology
Romanian borrowed succes from French succès in the 19th century, during the wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that modernized the language. The French word traces to Latin successus, meaning an outcome or a favorable result, itself formed from the verb succedere, to come after or to turn out well. That verb combines the prefix sub- (close to, under) with cedere (to go, to yield).
