Etymology
Romanian "salut" comes from Latin "salutare", to wish someone health or safety, itself built on "salus, salutis" (health, safety, well-being). The word entered modern Romanian partly through direct Latin inheritance and partly through French "salut", which carried the same root. As a casual greeting it mirrors how French and Italian speakers turned an old wish for someone's health into a simple hello.
