However, it does in fact derive from regular English, albeit dated English that is no longer in current use: the phrase "salaried man". See Google Books, for instance, displaying numerous hits from earlier in the 1900s. See also the Daijirin entry at Weblio, displaying the derivation from this same English phrase. | |
