Etymology
Instanță entered Romanian from French instance, which traces back to Latin instantia, meaning urgency or pressing insistence. Latin instantia comes from instare, to stand upon or press forward, built from in- (on, upon) and stare (to stand). Over time the legal sense of a formal stage or level of proceeding, the one used in Romanian courts today, developed from this idea of something standing close and pressing for a decision.
