- /as.sabt/
Where it comes from
Definite state of the verbal noun of سَبَتَ (sabata) meaning “to rest or hibernate”, “to cease”, “to stop or be still”, “to be motionless”, “to be quiet” as a phono-semantic matching of Classical Syriac ܫܒܬܐ (šabbəṯā, “Saturday”) used in the emphatic state; the religious sense likely being borrowed from the Hebrew שַׁבָּת (šabbā́ṯ, “weekly day of rest”). Ultimately stemming from Proto-Semitic *ṯabat- (“to be still, fixed, or staying”), doublet of the native ثَبَتَ (ṯabata). Related to Akkadian 𒋛𒁍𒌅 (se-bu-tu /sebûtu/, “seventh day of the month”), a holiday term that is paired with Akkadian 𒌓𒌋𒐊𒄰 (UD.15.KAM /šapattu, šabattu/, “two-week duration, the new and full moon”, literally “a day of the cessation”). Displaced شِيَار (šiyār).
