+ '''salūtō''' (present infinitive salūtāre, perfect active salūtāvī, supine salūtātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|salūs|t=health, safety; greeting]] with the verb suffix [[m|la|-ō]]: “to wish health to”.^(OLD 2012)^(Etymonline) De Vaan puts ⟨salūs⟩ with [[m|la|salvus|t=safe, whole]], from [[itc-pro|*salu-|t=whole, healthy]] and [[ine-pro|*slH-u-|t=whole]]; cognate with [[osc|salavs|t=safe, whole]] and [[xum|saluom|t=safe, whole]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan's first author is Naevius.^(de Vaan 2008) In a fragment of his historical play the king of Veii greets the Alban king: ''rēx Vēiēns rēgem salūtat Vibe Albānum Amūlium''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to greet or hail, also gods in worship (Plautus: “I'll just greet the gods”), places and things, and with a predicate to hail someone as something, as Octavian's followers called him Caesar (Cicero).^(OLD 2012) At Rome it is above all the morning call on a patron or great man to pay one's respects, and of the patron receiving such callers.^(OLD 2012) Statius uses it of saluting at parting.^(OLD 2012) Lewis and Short also record the sense of keeping safe or preserving, of vine shoots.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “salute, greet, keep safe, preserve”.^(Stelten 1995) English ''salute'' (late 14th century) is from it, in part through Old French.^(Etymonline)
