Etymology
Insignă entered Romanian from French insigne, itself from Latin insignis, meaning marked or distinguished. That Latin word breaks down into in- (on, into) and signum (a mark or sign). Romanian already had a native descendant of signum in the word semn, so insignă arrived later as a learned borrowing alongside it.
