Etymology
Romanian borrowed "important" from French "important" in the 19th century, during a period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language's vocabulary along French and Latin lines. French had taken the word from Italian "importante", which traces back to Latin "importare", meaning to bring in or carry into. Over time the sense shifted from a literal act of carrying to the idea of something that carries weight or consequence.
