My posting 21541 timed 3:27 agrees with Marius' posting timed
2:29 and posted 3:59 (does anyone understand how Yahoo works?) but,
not surprisingly Marius is more informative
But what's that "salvare" that contaminated 'silvaticus'? Only
thing like it I'm aware of is the 'salvus' "safe" complex, which
doesn't seem to have much to do with forests or savages
Dan

salvare= to save, see italian "salvare" and from that the neologism in
Rom. " a salva", salvare

It is a derivative of "salvus"= gesund, heil, wohlbehalten, gerettet"
the derivatives : salvator, salvatio, , resalvo, etc
from PIE *sal-uo- or *selo-uo-
