Why is it feminine?
Salvie is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin *salvia*, which was feminine due to its origin as a nominalized adjective from *salvus* (safe/healthy)—the plant was named for its purported healing properties, and the feminine form *salva* became the noun for the herb itself. This follows the common pattern where Latin feminine adjectives used as plant names retained their feminine gender in Romance languages.
