statusul

Statusul is a Romanian noun meaning "the status" or "the current state." It is the definite form of the borrowed word status, used to refer to the condition, position, or standing of a person, object, process, or system.

Etymology and syntax: Statusul derives from Latin status and is integrated into Romanian with the definite article suffix -ul. While the base status is common in formal writing and technical language, statusul specifically marks a reference to a previously identified state.

Domains of use: In linguistics and social science, statusul describes social standing or role, as in statusul social. In administration and law, it can denote the legal or administrative standing of a person or entity, such as statusul juridic sau statutul fiscal. In computing and information technology, the phrase statusul is used in user interfaces and documentation to label the state of an object, for example statusul comenzii or statusul serviciului.

Relation and variants: The term is closely related to status and to compound forms (statusuri, statusurile). It coexists with English loanwords and Romanian adjectival phrases in modern technical language. See also: status, social status, legal status, order status, and status codes in software.
