Etymology
Suficient comes from Latin sufficiens, the present participle of sufficere, meaning to supply or to be enough. That verb is built from sub- (up to, under) and facere (to make, to do). Romanian took the word as a learned borrowing from Latin or French during the modernization of the language in the 19th century, rather than inheriting it from spoken Latin.
