Etymology
Romanian borrowed "just" from French "juste" in the nineteenth century, during the wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. The French word descends from Latin "iustus", meaning lawful or righteous, itself built on "ius", the word for law or right. The chain runs from a shared legal concept in Latin through French into Romanian, alongside the older native word "drept", which covers similar ground.
