In a historical structural-legal sense, the form appears in old deeds and judgment ledgers to order the immediate detention of a litigant.
- Chancellery archivist — An official archaic term of Ottoman origin, historically used in the chancelleries of the Romanian Principalities to designate the archivist, secretary, or administrative official responsible for registering, preserving, and managing the magzar or magzars (collective petitions, counter-signed deeds, or official minutes signed by boyars or local communities). In an institutional-structural sense, the argimagzariu ensured the legality and preservation of protest documents or petitions submitted to the Divan or directly to the Porte.
- Argot — A conventional, specialized, and codified language used consciously by a specific social, professional, or marginalized group (e.g., students, military, underworld) to avoid being understood by outsiders. Unlike jargon, which reflects cultural or professional differentiation, this type of speech is secretive, dynamic, and highly inventive.
- Slang — A specific, conventional, and essentially dynamic language, consciously created and used by certain social, professional, or marginal groups to ensure cryptic communication or express group solidarity.
- Arithmogriph — A puzzle or crossword game in which letters are replaced by numbers according to a set key; a cryptogram or coded crossword. Solving it requires identifying the unique correspondence between each number and its associated letter to reconstruct the hidden words or message.
- To arrogate to oneself — To claim, assume, or attribute to oneself abusively and unjustifiably a right, title, power, merit, or privilege without having the legal or moral authority to do so. Used almost exclusively as a reflexive verb ('a-și aroga').

- Pledger — A person who offers earnest money or a financial down payment to reserve, pledge, and ensure the subsequent purchase of a good or service. As an adjective, it describes a behavior or a legal act that serves to guarantee a transaction through the advance payment of a sum of money, structurally defining the quality of the contracting partner who initiates the material securing of a sales promise.
- Assembled — Having been mounted, combined, or structurally joined from multiple separate parts, components, or subassemblies to form a functional whole, a complex mechanism, or a unitary piece of equipment. In computer science and programming, the term describes source code written in a low-level language (assembly) that has been translated, processed, and converted by a specialized program into instructions directly executable by the processor (machine code).
- Assembler — A specialized worker or technician responsible for mounting, fitting, and fixing the components of an apparatus, vehicle, or mechanical system. In computer science, the term designates a software utility or system program (usually called an assembler) that takes code written in assembly language and automatically translates it into binary machine-code instructions understood by the central processing unit.
- Ascendants — Persons from whom another is directly descended by birth, representing the previous generations of a family (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents); ancestors or forebears. In civil and inheritance law, they are classified into privileged ascendants (parents) and ordinary ascendants (grandparents, great-grandparents), having specific legal rights to the deceased's estate.

This system assigns a unique integer to each character (letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control codes), ensuring interoperability and the correct transmission of textual data between different computers and communication devices.
- Concealment — The act of hiding and its result; the process of placing an object, piece of information, or person into a state of concealment, invisibility, or structural protection. In criminal law, it refers to the illicit act of concealing goods derived from crimes or harboring offenders, while in programming it represents isolating code execution details (encapsulation).
- Assembler — A computer utility program that translates instructions written in an assembly language (a low-level programming language using mnemonics) into binary machine code, directly executable by the central processing unit (CPU). In everyday IT jargon, the term is often used metonymically to denote the Assembly language itself, used for software optimization, operating system development, and microcontroller programming.
- Atax — A specialized term used in various technical and medical fields. In biochemistry and medicine, it is encountered as a truncated variant, prefix, or non-standard acronym referring to taxine or phenomena related to ataxia (lack of coordination of muscle movements). In information technology, it can designate a specific command, software utility, or process identifier within certain operating systems.
- Self-denunciation — The action by which a person presents themselves on their own initiative before criminal investigation bodies or judicial authorities to confess a crime or an illicit act that they personally committed or participated in, before it is discovered. In structural procedural terms, it represents a cause for sentence reduction or impunity according to the penal code.
- To self-denounce — To present oneself on one's own initiative before criminal investigation bodies or competent judicial authorities to confess and assume the commission of one's own crime or illicit act, before it is known or discovered by the state. This structural procedural act is carried out by the perpetrator out of remorse or to benefit from substantial reductions in the sentence provided by law.
- Self-denunciation — The act of self-denouncing and its result; a self-denunciation made voluntarily before criminal authorities before the deed is known to them. This act represents an official manifestation of acknowledging guilt and produces major mitigating structural effects in setting the final sentence amount.
- Self-denouncer — A person who denounces themselves before the law, bringing to the attention of authorities a crime they personally committed or participated in; (rarely) containing or expressing a self-denunciation. This structural status implies an active and unilateral manifestation of assistance provided to justice before the ex officio notification of investigation organs.
- To self-document — To gather documents, data, and truthful information by oneself about a problem, subject, or field of study in order to ground one's knowledge or a written work; to use a software system or code capable of automatically generating its own operational technical documentation.
