Etymology

The noun **suffisant** comes from Old French *suffisant*, the participial adjective of Latin *sufficiens* (“sufficient”), itself the present participle of *sufficere* “to be enough”. *Sufficere* is built on the root *facere* “to do” with a suff‑/sub‑ prefix that conveys the sense of “enough” or “adequate”. In the Middle Ages the adjective was nominalized to refer to a person or thing that satisfies a requirement.
