Etymology
Protejat is the past participle of a proteja, borrowed from French protéger during the 19th-century re-Latinization of Romanian. French protéger comes from Latin protegere, a compound of pro- (in front of) and tegere (to cover). The core image is something placed in front to shield another thing from harm.
