Etymology
Scriitor is built from the Romanian verb a scrie, meaning to write, plus the agent suffix -tor, meaning one who does something. A scrie descends from Latin scribere, which also gave English words like scribe and script. The suffix -tor is itself the direct continuation of the Latin agent suffix -tor, so scriitor is essentially a Romanian recasting of the same Latin machinery that built scriptor.
