Salute
The word ‘salute’ has its origin in Latin, deriving from the verb salūtāre which means to greet, or in a broader sense - to declare or acknowledge someone with respect. In the Romance Languages, it has evolved from Latin’s salūtāre to Spanish saludar, Italian salutare, Portuguese saudar and Romanian saluta. Morphologically, it is a one-word sentence which has seen some degree of pragmatization in the Romance languages, such that 'saludar' is used as a greeting in Spanish. The Italian ‘salutare’, though still used in its original meaning, has assumed the meaning of ‘obeisance’ through the centuries. The Portuguese 'saudar' and Romanian ‘saluta’ have come to symbolize the ‘act of salutation’, while ‘salutare’ in all the four Romance languages have retained their original etymological interpretations.
