Definition of undefined

The word "salty" has its roots in the Old English word "sealt," meaning "salt." This, in turn, derives from Proto-Germanic *saltaz, ultimately stemming from the Proto-Indo-European root *sels, which means "salt." The word "salty" evolved to describe the taste of salt and, by extension, came to be used figuratively to describe things that are harsh, unpleasant, or sarcastic.
