Etymology
Totalitate entered Romanian from French totalité in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language's vocabulary along French and Latin lines. Totalité itself was built in French from total, which came from Late Latin totalis, an adjective formed on Latin totus, meaning whole or entire. The suffix -itate is the Romanian reflex of the Latin abstract-noun ending -itas, borrowed via French -ité, the same pattern seen in realitate and calitate.
