Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic triliteral root s-l-m, which carries the sense of being safe, sound, and whole. It is a verbal noun built from the verb سَلِمَ, "to be safe or unharmed." The same root gives سَلام (peace) and إسلام (submission). It is cognate with Hebrew shalom and Aramaic shlama.
