    Salutation \Sal`u*ta"tion\, n. [L. salutatio: cf. F. salutation.
    See {Salute}.]
    The act of saluting, or paying respect or reverence, by the
    customary words or actions; the act of greeting, or
    expressing good will or courtesy; also, that which is uttered
    or done in saluting or greeting.

    In all public meetings or private addresses, use those
    forms of salutation, reverence, and decency usual
    amongst the most sober persons. --Jer. Taylor.

    Syn: Greeting; salute; address.

    Usage: {Salutation}, {Greeting}, {Salute}. Greeting is the
    general word for all manner of expressions of
    recognition, agreeable or otherwise, made when persons
    meet or communicate with each other. A greeting may be
    hearty and loving, chilling and offensive, or merely
    formal, as in the opening sentence of legal documents.
    Salutation more definitely implies a wishing well, and
    is used of expressions at parting as well as at
    meeting. It is used especially of uttered expressions
    of good will. Salute, while formerly and sometimes
    still in the sense of either greeting or salutation,
    is now used specifically to denote a conventional
    demonstration not expressed in words. The guests
    received a greeting which relieved their
    embarrassment, offered their salutations in
    well-chosen terms, and when they retired, as when they
    entered, made a deferential salute.

    Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the
    uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings
    in the markets. --Luke xi. 43.

    When Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the
    babe leaped in her womb. --Luke i. 41.

    I shall not trouble my reader with the first
    salutes of our three friends. --Addison.
