### Etymology 2

Of uncertain origin. Various connections have been suggested based on the word's multiple meanings, such as to Proto-Indo-European *séh₂ls (“salt”) from the "essence" meaning, Ancient Greek ῥώμη (rhṓmē, “strength”) from the "power" meaning, and सर्व (sarva, “whole”) from the "chief" meaning. A connection to Latin sorbus (“sorb tree”) has also been suggested, taking "red" as the original meaning for "sorbus"; this must be rejected based on De Vaan's analysis that "red" was not the original meaning.
