Etymology
Custodie entered Romanian through French custodie, which itself descends from Latin custodia, meaning guarding or safekeeping. Latin custodia is built on custos, custodis, the word for a guard or watchman. The word arrived as part of the wave of French-based legal and administrative vocabulary that entered Romanian in the 19th century.
