Însemn is a noun drawn from the verb a însemna, meaning to mark or to signify. That verb combines the prefix în- with semn, the Romanian word for sign, which comes from Latin signum. Signum itself is generally linked to a root meaning to cut, since an early sign was often a mark cut or notched into a surface.
