Salt \Salt\, n. [AS. sealt; akin to OS. & OFries. salt, D. zout,       G. salz, Icel., Sw., & Dan. salt, L. sal, Gr. [?], Russ.       sole, Ir. & Gael. salann, W. halen, of unknown origin. Cf.       {Sal}, {Salad}, {Salary}, {Saline}, {Sauce}, {Sausage}.]       1. The chloride of sodium, a substance used for seasoning             food, for the preservation of meat, etc. It is found             native in the earth, and is also produced, by evaporation             and crystallization, from sea water and other water             impregnated with saline particles.          2. Hence, flavor; taste; savor; smack; seasoning.                         Though we are justices and doctors and churchmen . .                      . we have some salt of our youth in us. --Shak.          3.

The neutral compound formed by the union of an             acid and a base; thus, sulphuric acid and iron form the             salt sulphate of iron or green vitriol.          Note: Except in case of ammonium salts, accurately speaking,                it is the acid radical which unites with the base or                basic radical, with the elimination of hydrogen, of                water, or of analogous compounds as side products. In                the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic                and tribasic acids, the mutual neutralization may vary                in degree, producing respectively basic, neutral, or                acid salts.

Eng.]          {Above the salt}, {Below the salt}, phrases which have             survived the old custom, in the houses of people of rank,             of placing a large saltcellar near the middle of a long             table, the places above which were assigned to the guests             of distinction, and those below to dependents, inferiors,             and poor relations. See {Saltfoot}.                         His fashion is not to take knowledge of him that is                      beneath him in clothes.

Ratio \Ra"ti*o\, n. [L., fr. reri, ratus, to reckon, believe,       think, judge. See {Reason}.]       1. (Math.) The relation which one quantity or magnitude has             to another of the same kind.
