The root word of "arbitrary" is "arbiter," which comes from the Latin word "arbitrari," meaning "to consider" or "to judge." In this context, "arbiter" refers to someone who has the power to make decisions or judgments. The addition of the suffix "-ary" in "arbitrary" changes the meaning to suggest something done at one's own discretion or without a specific reason.
