Etymology
Romanian borrowed pasager from French passager, which functions as both an adjective ("passing, fleeting") and a noun ("passenger"). French passager derives from passage plus the agentive suffix -er, and passage itself comes from Latin passus, the past participle of pandere, "to spread out, to open." The core idea is movement through a space, which explains why the word covers both a traveler in transit and something that only lasts briefly.
