Word family
Etymology
Romanian "a saluta" comes from Latin "salutare", meaning to wish someone health or safety, itself built on "salus, salutis" (health, safety, well-being). The word likely reached Romanian partly through French and Italian influence during the 19th-century modernization of the language, alongside the inherited Latin base. The same Latin root gives Romanian "salut" (hi/greeting) and "salutar" (beneficial).
