Inherited from Latin 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).


saber

desc

→ English: savvy (via some creole or pidgin)
