The Word 'Salvete' is the greeting 'Hail!' to 'you all'. For it's the second person plural imperative of the verb 'salvare', which means 'to be in good health' or 'to be well'. So 'salvete' derives from 'salvare', and 'salvare' derives from 'salus', which is the Latin Word for 'health'. Therefore, salvation is a direct derivative of 'salvare', and an indirect derivative of 'salus'. Additionally, 'salute' is a direct derivative, and 'savior' an indirect derivative, of 'salus'.
