語源

A learned borrowing from Latin salīva (“spittle”), replacing or merging with 中期英語 salive, salve (“saliva”), from the same Latin source. Further origin uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *salw-, *sal- (“dirt, dirty”), cognate with 古期英語 salu (“dark, dusky”). More at sallow.

Displaced 中期英語 slaver, slavere ("saliva"; whence Modern English slaver); and 中期英語 spyttle, spetel, spatel, spotel ("saliva"; whence Modern English spittle, spettle, spattle).
