Etymology
The word 'safe' originated from the Old French word 'sauf', meaning 'uninjured, intact, safe'. It entered Middle English in the 13th century with the same meaning of 'secure, free from danger'. Over time, its usage expanded to include the concept of protection and security. The modern usage of 'safe' encompasses both physical and emotional safety, reflecting the fundamental human need for security.
