Etymology

The word 'salutatory' originates from the Latin word 'salutatorius', which means 'pertaining to greeting'. This Latin term comes from 'salutare', meaning 'to greet', which is derived from 'salus', meaning 'health' or 'well-being'. The use of salutatory in English can be traced back to the 16th century, where it began to take on the connotation of welcoming remarks or addresses, particularly in formal events such as graduations or public gatherings. Over time, the term has maintained its connection to greetings, emphasizing the importance of setting a positive atmosphere when initiating communication or assembly.
