Etymology
Bucătar is a Romanian formation, not a direct Latin inheritance. It combines bucate, the Romanian word for food or dishes, with the agent suffix -ar, which marks a person's trade or occupation. The same suffix appears in many other Romanian job titles, so bucătar reads literally as 'the food person'.
