Of the greatest importance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vital

'of the greatest importance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for vital that I've seen before include "Critical, necessary" , "Characteristic of life" , "Essential; lively" , "Critical; life-sustaining" , "Necessary for life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
