Etymology
Inherited from Vulgar Latin *sambata, itself from Vulgar Latin *sambatum, ultimately from Latin sabbatum. The Latin is derived from Ancient Greek σάββατον (sábbaton, “Sabbath”), ultimately from Hebrew שַׁבָּת (shabát, “Sabbath, Shabbat”). Compare French samedi (“Saturday”), itself also from *sambatī diēs. Compare Romanian sâmbătă.
