Etymology
Romanian borrowed "vital" from French "vital", itself from Latin "vitalis", an adjective built on "vita" (life). The word entered Romanian during the 19th-century wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary. It kept the original sense: something needed to sustain life, later extended to anything essential.
