Etymology
Romanian borrowed "majestate" from Latin "maiestas" (stem "maiestat-"), likely reinforced by French "majesté", as part of the wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that entered Romanian in the 18th and 19th centuries. Latin "maiestas" itself derives from "maior", the comparative of "magnus" ("great"), so the word literally points to greatness or superiority. This makes "majestate" a learned borrowing rather than a word inherited directly from spoken Latin.
