Etymology
Maiestate comes from Latin maiestas, maiestatis, meaning greatness or dignity, itself built on the comparative stem magis, more. Romanian likely absorbed the word through French majesté as well as directly from Latin, which is why an older spelling majestate still turns up. It entered the language mainly through formal, legal, and religious registers, tied to describing rulers and sacred grandeur rather than everyday speech.
