Romanian

Etymology

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *sambata, from Vulgar Latin *sambatum, 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 also Dalmatian sabata, Ladin sabeda, Friulian sabide, Romansch sonda, sanda, somda. Compare Aromanian Sãmbãtã
