Where did the word safety originated and fro which language?

The word "safety" originates from the Old French word "saufeté", which means "security, safety, soundness."

This word, in turn, comes from the Latin word "salvus", which means "safe, sound, well".

So, the journey of the word "safety" can be traced back to:

1. Latin: "salvus" (safe)

2. Old French: "saufeté" (security, safety)

3. English: "safety"

The word "safety" entered the English language around the 14th century.
