Etymology
Vindeca comes from Latin vindicare, a verb that originally meant to claim, to set free, or to avenge. In popular Latin the sense narrowed toward liberating someone from a wrong, and in Romanian this shifted further to liberating someone from illness, giving the modern meaning to heal. The same Latin root produced very different outcomes in other Romance languages, where it kept the legal or punitive sense instead.
