Etymology
Judecător is built on the Romanian verb a judeca, meaning to judge, plus the agentive suffix -ător, which forms 'one who does' from a verb. A judeca itself comes from Latin iudicare, which combines ius (law, right) with the root of dicere (to say, pronounce). So a judge is, at root, the person who pronounces the law.
