英文词源
important
**important: **[16] _Important _and _import _(the opposite of export) come from the same source – Latin importāre, a compound verb formed from the prefix in- and _portāre _‘carry’ (as in English portable). Its original literal sense (as represented in the English verb _import _[16]) was ‘bring in’, but in the Middle Ages this developed metaphorically to ‘imply, mean’ (which is what French _importer _and Italian _importare _signify), and its present participle _importāns _gave English important.
=> import, port, portable
important (adj.)
mid-15c., from Middle French important and directly from Medieval Latin importantem (nominative importans), present participle of importare "be significant in," from Latin importare "bring in" (see import). Related: Importantly.
