Gravitas (from
Latin) is a quality of substance or depth of personality.
Gravitas (specifically
dignity, seriousness, and
duty) is one of the several
virtues that
ancient Roman society expected
men to possess, along with
pietas and
dignitas.
"Gravitas" should not be confused with "gravity" in the sense of importance, although they have a common etymology, coming from the Latin for weightiness.
