Salt used to be used a currency and roman soldiers were paid in salt. This is where worth your weight in salt comes from.

Also soldier comes from sal dare meaning to give salt.

Salary also roots from this.

I knew the first part and maybe the second but never heard the latter part. That's really neat, yay for etymology.
