There have been various attempts to explain how the Latin term for “wages” came from the adjective “related to salt”. It is generally assumed that salārium was an abbreviation of salārium argentum (“salt money”), though that phrase is not attested. A commonly cited theory is that the phrase meant “money consisting of salt”, because Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt, but there is no evidence for this from ancient sources. Another is that the phrase meant “money used to buy salt [and other miscellaneous items]”.[1] [Further reading] edit - salary on Wikipedia.Wikipedia [Noun] editsalary (plural salaries) 1.A fixed amount of money paid to a worker, usually calculated on a monthly or annual basis, not hourly, as wages.
