Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *sel- Proto-Indo-European *-yétor Proto-Indo-European *sl̥yétor Proto-Italic *saljō? Latin saliō Uncertain. The LIV connects the term to Ancient Greek ἅλλομαι (hállomai, “to leap, jump”), reconstruct earlier Proto-Indo-European *sl̥-yé-tor, from *sel-. However, such a pre-form should regularly yield Latin *sol-. The LIV suggests this outcome is specifically the result of *sl̥- before *i or *y, though this is conflict with the development seen in Latin morior, from *mr̥yétor. The Latin term could also reflect the full-grade of the root, though De Vaan notes that the e-grade is not otherwise attested in Italic or Celtic. Cognates include Ancient Greek ἅλλομαι (hállomai) and Sanskrit सरति (sárati).
