Celuilalt is the masculine singular genitive-dative form of celălalt, a Romanian demonstrative pronoun built from cel ("that one," from Latin ille) fused with a reduced form of alt ("other," from Latin alter). Romanian regularly welds its definite article or demonstrative onto adjectives like this, which is why the word looks like one dense block rather than two separate terms. The genitive-dative shape celuilalt reflects celui, the regular oblique-case form of cel, with -lalt (other) attached at the end.
