Etymology

French *impatient* (noun) originates from Late Latin *impatientem*, the accusative of the adjective *impatient* “unpatient”. The adjective itself is built from the negative prefix *im-* + *patientem* (tolerant), from Latin *patientia* “endurance” (from *patere* “to endure”). The noun form is a nominalization of the adjective, retaining the suffix *‑ent*, and appears in French texts from the 19th century onward.
