Definition salient

Etymology

The heraldic sense “leaping” and the sense “projecting outward” are from Latin sali?ns, salientem, from sali? (“leap, spring”). The senses “prominent” and “pertinent” are relatively recently from the phrase salient point, which is from the Latin punctum sali?ns, a translation of Aristotle's term for the embryonal heart visible in (opened) eggs, which he thought seemed to move already. Compare the German calque der springende Punkt.

  5. (obsolete) Moving by leaps or springs; jumping.
