What does -ul in produsul mean?

-ul is the definite article attached to the end of the noun. Romanian usually puts the definite article after the noun, unlike English.

• produs = product
• produsul = the product

Why is the adjective deteriorat placed after the noun?

In Romanian, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

• produs deteriorat = damaged product
• produsul deteriorat = the damaged product

This is the normal word order. Romanian can sometimes place adjectives before the noun, but that is less neutral and often adds emphasis or a stylistic effect.
