Instant importance (6)
I believe the answer is:
moment
I believe this is a double definition.
'instant' is the first definition.
(I know that instant can be written as moment)
'importance' is the second definition.
(I know that moment is a type of significance)
(Other definitions for moment that I've seen before include "Significance; minute" , "An instant in time - important" , "force to turn things around" , "Second, flash" , "Jiffy" .)
