Etymology
Dormitor comes from the French word dortoir, a sleeping hall, which itself traces back to Latin dormitorium, built on the verb dormire, to sleep. When the word entered Romanian, its ending was reshaped to fit the native pattern of dormi (to sleep) plus the common suffix -tor. The result reads like a native formation but carries a borrowed sense: not an agent who sleeps, but the room where sleeping happens.
