Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

Inherited from Latin sapiō, sapere (“taste, know”). Compare English savvy, savor. 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).
