protectorprotective, guardian-likeEtymology
The word comes from French "protection", which in turn descends from Latin "protectio", a noun built on the verb "protegere", meaning to cover in front or shield. Romanian absorbed the term during its 19th-century wave of French and Latin borrowings, when much of its modern administrative and abstract vocabulary was formed. The root sense of covering to keep safe survives directly in the modern meaning.
