Etymology
Romanian borrowed "important" from French "important" in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian deliberately absorbed French vocabulary to modernize the language. The French word traces to Latin "importans," the present participle of "importare," meaning to bring in or carry into. Over time the sense shifted from a literal act of carrying to the figurative idea of bearing weight or consequence. "Importantă" is simply the feminine singular form of this adjective.
