+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*sal-je-|t=to jump]], [[inh|ine-pro|*sh₂l-ie/o-|t=to jump]].^(de Vaan 2008) The LIV derives it from *sl̥-yé- of the root *sel-, but de Vaan notes that *sl̥i̯- should have given *soli̯- in Latin, so the /a/ is not explained, and Wiktionary calls it uncertain.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)

+ Cognate with [[grc|ἅλλομαι|tr=hállomai|t=to jump]], [[sga|saltraid|t=tramples]] and [[sa|सिसर्षि|tr=sisarṣi|t=you flow]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+ It is found from Plautus onwards,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who says a man who falls in love perishes worse than if he leapt from a rock.^(OLD 2012)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant to jump or leap, of people and animals, as Livy's leaping from the wall.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Of the body it meant to throb or twitch, as Plautus' “my body shudders, my heart leaps”.^(OLD 2012) Of water and other liquids it meant to spurt or gush, as Cato's wine spurting into a skin, and of male animals to mount.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ In medieval music theory it was used of a melody leaping by an interval rather than moving by step.^(LmL) Its participle gave English ''salient'' (1560s), and French ''saillir'' gave ''sally''.^(Etymonline)
