Etymology
'solvencia' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'solventia', where the verb 'solvere' meant 'to loosen, to dissolve' and by extension 'to pay or to release (from an obligation)'.
'solvencia' changed from Latin 'solventia' into Vulgar Latin forms and then into Old Spanish, eventually becoming the modern Spanish word 'solvencia'.
Initially related to the action of 'loosening' or 'paying' (releasing an obligation); over time the meaning narrowed and specialized to 'ability to pay' and 'financial soundness'.
