Etymology

Importanță entered Romanian from French importance in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian borrowed heavily from French and Italian to modernize its vocabulary. The French word traces back to Latin importantia, built on the verb importare, which combined in- (in, into) with portare (to carry). In Latin, importare could mean both to bring in and, in a figurative sense, to matter.
