Etymology

The French noun **certains** is simply the plural form of the adjective *certain*. *Certain* comes from Old French *certen*, which in turn derives from Latin **certus** “sure, confident, determined”, from the verb **certare** “to test, contend”. Thus *certains* literally means “those who are sure” and came into use to refer to a definite group of people.
