Etymology
Prioritate entered Romanian in the 19th century from French priorité, part of a wave of Latin-based vocabulary that modernized Romanian during that period. French priorité itself derives from Medieval Latin prioritas, built on prior, meaning earlier or former. The Latin comparative prior compared something to what came before it, and the abstract suffix -itas turned that comparison into a noun naming the quality itself.
