Etymology
Adjustor comes from the verb adjust, which is built from parts meaning 'to' and 'right' (the same root as just) plus the ending -or meaning 'one who'. So an adjustor is someone who 'makes things right' after damage, which fits the job of checking insurance claims and suggesting a fair settlement.
