From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Noun
sabulīs
Etymology
Apparently from an old Slavic or Baltic word, reputed to have been borrowed from an East-Asiatic language, though none of the proposed candidates is universally accepted. From Slavic, the word was borrowed into Germanic (Middle Low German, Middle Dutch sabel, German Zobel), from Germanic into French, and from French into English sable. Cognates include Lithuanian sãbalas, Russian со́боль (sóbolʹ), Czech sobol, Polish soból.[1]
