      Plus you have the etymology:
      from Latin ad (“to, up to, towards”) + iustus (“correct, proper, exact”) + er (one whose occupation is the root noun; a person characterized by the root)

      So like, “one whose occupation is to add and extract proper justice.”

        Reads more like “One who advances towards what is correct and proper” to me.
