Origin

Mid 17th century (as a noun denoting payment for saving a ship or its cargo): from French, from medieval Latin salvagium, from Latin salvare 'to save'. The verb dates from the late 19th century.

  • safety from Middle English:

    Like safe, this ultimately comes from Latin salvus ‘uninjured, safe’, also the source of salvage (late 17th century) originally payment for saving a ship, salver, salvation (Middle English), and save. The proverb there is safety in numbers has echoes in the biblical Proverbs: ‘In the multitude of counsellors there is safety’. The first to use the modern phrasing was Jane Austen in her novel Emma, published in 1814: ‘She determined to call upon them and seek safety in numbers.’
