the.com/sage
a leaf that flavors your turkey and exorcises your apartment, depending on the ritual.
means A wise person, or a fragrant gray-green herb used in cooking and cleansing rituals — the word covers both the herb and the sagacious.
from Two separate words wearing the same coat. The herb 'sage' comes from Latin 'salvia,' from 'salvus' (healthy, safe) — the plant was prized as a healer, the same root behind 'salve' and 'salvation.' The wise-person 'sage' arrives via Old French 'sage,' from Latin 'sapere' (to taste, to be discerning, hence to be wise) — a cousin of 'sapient' and 'savor.' So one sage tastes good, the other has good taste; the convergence is pure coincidence.
