Etymology
The word comes from Latin salvator, meaning one who saves, itself built on the verb salvare, to save, and the adjective salvus, safe or whole. Romanian took the form directly from Latin, reinforced later by French salvateur. The same Latin root gave English words like safe and salvage through different paths.
