Sage has two very different everyday meanings that happen to share the same spelling. First, sage is a herb - a small plant with soft grey-green leaves, often used in cooking, especially with meat or at holiday meals. Second, a sage is an old, wise person - someone people go to for good advice, often used a little poetically or in old stories ('a wise old sage'). As an adjective, 'sage advice' means wise, sensible advice.

組成Though actually, these are really two separate old words that just look the same today. The 'wise person' sage comes from a Latin word meaning 'to know' - the same root as the word 'sapient'. The herb's name comes from a different Latin word connected to 'healthy' or 'healing', because people once used the plant as medicine.
