salve

salve: [OE] The central semantic element of modern English salve is ‘healing’, but its underlying etymological meaning is ‘oily substance’. It goes back to a prehistoric West Germanic *salbō, which had relatives in Greek élpos ‘oil’ and Sanskrit srpras ‘greasy’. The Germanic from has evolved into German salbe and Dutch zalf as well as English salve.

The figurative sense of "something to soothe wounded pride, etc." is from 1736.

salve (v.2)
