Question 2

What is the etymology of thr French word "savoir"?

Accepted Answer

From Vulgar Latin sapēre, from Classical Latin sapĕre, "to have flavor", with influence from sapiens "wise", hence "to be perspicacious", "to understand", then "to know", and elimination of the classical scire "to know". Very old French: sabir (Oaths of Strasbourg), then saveir, and finally savoir. For a very long time, from Middle French to the 18th century, the word was written sçavoir by false regression to the Classical Latin scire ("to know"). It was not until 1740 that the Académie française registered the word in its current spelling in the 3rd edition of its dictionary.
