Etymology
Valabil entered Romanian from French valable, then was reshaped with the productive adjectival suffix -bil, the same ending seen in capabil and posibil. That suffix goes back to Latin -abilis. The underlying root traces to Latin valere, to be strong or to be worth something, which also gave French valoir and English valor and value.
