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 ((deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Low German, (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Dutch sabel, German Zobel), from Germanic into (deprecated template usage) [etyl] French, and from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] French into English sable. Cognates include Lithuanian sãbalas, Russian соболь (sóbol'), Czech sobol, Polish soból.[1]
