      1. Ointment used to help heal wounds or reduce how painful they are. By extension, anything used to soothe or aid in healing hurt feelings, social unrest, etc.

      2. Salve is the imperative (command) form of the Latin verb salveo (infinitive: salvere).

      Salvere means to be well / healthy, so salve literally means Be well.

      It was commonly used as a greeting and as a way of saying goodbye in the ancient Roman Empire. Later, in Latin-using parts of the Christian Church (continuing to the present in the Catholic Church), it has been used in [exalting] important figures, as in [Salve Regina] (Hail, Queen) addressed [to Jesuss] mother, Mary.

      In ancient Latin, as used in the Roman Empire, it was pronounced sahl-way. In Church Latin and sung Latin, derived from medieval Latin, it is pronounced sahl-vay.
