Vacantă is the feminine singular form of the adjective vacant, which Romanian borrowed from French vacant during its 19th-century modernization of vocabulary. French vacant continues Latin vacans, vacantis, the present participle of vacare, meaning to be empty or unoccupied. The same Latin verb also gave English vacant, vacancy, and vacation.
