The Latin root comes from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root "gʷewH-", meaning "to taste" or "to eat". Over time, this Latin root gave rise to various Latin and English words related to the sense of taste, including "gustus" (taste) and "gustatio" (a tasting or sampling). From "gustus" came the Latin adjective "gustatorius", and eventually the English word "gustatorial".
