Etymology
The verb comes from French "sauver", itself from Latin "salvare", meaning to make safe or preserve. Romanian adopted it in the 19th century, when writers and scholars pulled in French and Italian words to modernize the language. "Salvăm" is the first person plural present form, built by adding the ending "-ăm" to the stem "salv-".
