Etymology
Supraviețuitor is built on the verb a supraviețui, to survive, itself formed from supra (over, above, from Latin supra) and viață (life, from Latin vita). The agent suffix -tor, from Latin -tor, turns the verb into a noun for the person who performs the action. Literally the word says something like an over-liver, one who lives beyond an event that others did not survive.
