Etymology
Salariu comes from Latin salarium, the allowance paid to Roman soldiers, originally tied to the purchase of salt. Latin sal, meaning salt, sits at the root of the word. Romanian inherited the term directly from Latin, alongside French, Italian, and Spanish, which borrowed or inherited the same root for their own words for salary.
