Etymology
Ajutor comes from Latin adiutorium, meaning help or assistance. That noun is built on adiutare, an intensive form of adiuvare, to help, from ad- (toward) plus iuvare (to help, benefit). The word passed into Romanian with its core meaning intact, unlike in some Romance languages where the derived verb took over the everyday sense.
