Etymology
Călători is the plural of călător, an agent noun built from the Romanian word cale, meaning road or way, plus the suffix -ător, which marks someone who does something. Cale itself descends from Latin callis, a footpath or trail. So a călător is literally someone who goes along the road, and the meaning narrowed over time to traveler or passenger.
