Etymology
1. From Old Galician-Portuguese saber, from Latin sapere (“taste, know”).
2. The verb’s first-person singular conjugation reflects an original */ˈsajo/, in common with other Romance languages, of uncertain origin. The present subjunctive forms show consonant metathesis: sapiām > */ˈsajpa/ > Portuguese saiba. See: Latin Nouns '
sapiō'.
