SALARY

Meaning:  A regular payment made by an employer to an employee.

Origin:  A salary, during the great days of the Romans, was called a salarium, `salt-money.'  The ancients regarded salt as such an essential to good diet (and before refrigeration it was the only chemical that preserved meat) that they made a special allowance in the wages of soldiers to buy sal (Latin for `salt').  With time and stipend came to be called a salarium, from which English acquired the word salary.

    Skippy Says   

"When I was a baby I kept a diary. Recently I was reading, it said:

Day 1: Still tired from the move.

Day 2: Everybody talks to me like I am some kind of idiot."
