Word Origin & History

savory  (n.)
"aromatic mint," c.1387, perhaps an alteration of O.E. sæþerie, which is ult. from L. satureia "savory (n.)." But early history of the word suggests transmission via O.Fr. savereie. In either case, the form of the word probably altered by infl. of either the M.E. or O.Fr. form of savory (adj.).
