Etymology

The word 'salty' originates from the Old English word 'salt', which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic *saltam and the Latin 'sal', both meaning salt. The usage of 'saltier' emerged later as a comparative form. The history of salt as a seasoning dates back thousands of years, making it one of the oldest flavor enhancers known to humanity. Salt was not only valuable in cooking but also played a critical role in food preservation, especially in ancient cultures. The word has evolved in modern usage to include metaphorical meanings, such as feeling salty about a situation, which implies bitterness or resentment. The lexical expansion of 'salty' reflects both its culinary significance and its adaptation into colloquial expressions in the English language.
