Origin

Middle English: from Old French sauvete, from medieval Latin salvitas, from Latin salvus 'safe'.

Like safe, this ultimately comes from Latin salvus ‘uninjured, safe’, also the source of salvage (late 17th century) originally payment for saving a ship, salver, salvation (Middle English), and save. The proverb there is safety in numbers has echoes in the biblical Proverbs: ‘In the multitude of counsellors there is safety’. The first to use the modern phrasing was Jane Austen in her novel Emma, published in 1814: ‘She determined to call upon them and seek safety in numbers.’
