Etymology
The word "la protezione" comes from the Latin 'protectio,' meaning 'a covering or defense.' It entered Italian through Vulgar Latin, reflecting the idea of shielding or safeguarding. Did you know? The root 'pro-' means 'before' and 'tectum' means 'roof' or 'cover,' so it literally implies 'covering beforehand.'
