Etymology

Romanian sări continues Latin salire, to leap or jump. The verb kept its literal sense in Romanian, while related Romance verbs drifted: Italian salire now means to climb or go up, and Spanish salir means to leave or go out. The Latin root goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root *sel-, to jump, which also gave English words such as salient and sally.
