core核心畫面
組成For this serving plate, the usual story is salve, an old verb meaning “to save,” plus -er: food could be tasted from the plate first, to save an important person from poison. There was also an older English salver that meant a little box of healing cream (salve, the ointment), built as salve + -er in a different sense. For the plate you carry drinks on, it is the “save” story that fits.
