different between salary vs receipts
salary
English
Alternative forms
- sallary (obsolete)
Etymology
From Middle English salarie, from Anglo-Norman salarie, from Old French salaire, from Latin sal?rium (“wages”), the neuter form of the adjective sal?rius (“related to salt”), from sal (“salt”). There have been various attempts to explain how the Latin term for “wages” came from the adjective “related to salt”. It is generally assumed that sal?rium was an abbreviation of sal?rium argentum (“salt money”), though that phrase is not attested. A commonly cited theory is that the phrase meant “money consisting of salt”, because Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt, but there is no evidence for this from ancient sources. Another is that the phrase meant “money used to buy salt [and other miscellaneous items]”.
