Definition of Salus

I question whether an etymological dictionary is the appropriate source for the meaning of "salus" in Latin, as famously used by Cicero.

While the word is derived from the past participle (salus) of "salvare" meaning "to save", my Elementary Latin Dictionary by Charlton Lewis (of Lewis & Short) (Oxford 1891, 1993) defines Salus as meaning heatlh, good health, and vigor, as used in Latin literature, although the connotation of safety was still present, though obviously not predominant.

The large Oxford Latin Dictionary (also edited by Charlton Lewis) defines salus as, a being safe and sound; a sound or whole condition, health, welfare, prosperity, preservation, safety, deliverance , etc. Mballen (talk)
