Etymology
1. Inherited from Latin sapiō, sapere (“taste, know”). Compare English savvy, savor.
2. The 1SG reflects an original */ˈsajo/, in common with other Romance languages, of uncertain origin. The present subjunctive forms show consonant metathesis (sapiām > */ˈsajpa/ > Sp. sepa). See: Latin Nouns '
sapiō', Latin Nouns '
sapiō', English Nouns '
savvy'.
