In summary

Inherited from Old French savoir/eir, from Vulgar Latin *sapēre, from Latin sapĕre. Comments The now-obsolete spelling sçavoir owes its ⟨ç⟩ to the Latin scīre (“to know”), which was long assumed to be the etymon of the French verb. The 1SG present indicative sais comes from Old French sai < Vulgar Latin */ˈsajo/ ≠ Classical Latin sapiō. The inflections with ⟨ch⟩ reflect regular palatalization of an original [pj], as in sache < Old French sacheṭ < */ˈsa(p)t͡ʃat/ < */ˈsapjat/ < Classical Latin sapiat (cf. French seiche < Latin sēpia). The past participle su comes from Old French seü < */saˈ(β)udo/ < Vulgar Latin */saˈputu/, most likely influenced by Latin perfect verb forms such as sapuī.
