Etymology
Infractor entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's legal and administrative vocabulary. It traces to Latin infractor, agent noun of infringere, itself formed from in- and frangere, meaning to break. The word entered legal Romanian alongside infracțiune, the term for the offense itself.
