saluter

noun səˈl(j)uːtəsəˈludər

What is now required is the "stiff-arm" salute, the saluter to keep the right hand raised with palm turned up.
Example sentencesExamples
- All personal salutes may be traced to the prevailing use in earlier days to ensure that the saluter placed himself in an unarmed position.

Origin

Late Middle English: from Latin salutare 'greet, pay one's respects to', from salus, salut- 'health, welfare, greeting'; the noun partly from Old French salut.

Salute is from Latin salutare ‘greet, pay one's respects to’, from salus, ‘health, welfare, greeting’ as greetings usually involve wishing someone good health. The same root gives us salutary (Late Middle English) originally ‘conducive to health’ and salubrious (mid 16th century) ‘healthful’. Salvo (late 16th century) comes, via Italian, from the Roman greeting salve, from salutare, and safety, salver, and save also go back to the same root.
