Etymology

Protejez is the first person singular present of a proteja, a verb Romanian borrowed from French protéger during the nineteenth century wave of Latinate modernization. French protéger itself comes from Latin protegere, built from the prefix pro- (in front of, for) and tegere (to cover). The ending -ez marks the first conjugation pattern used for many French loanverbs in Romanian.
