Etymology

edit

From Arabic سَبَّتَ (sabbata), intensive of سَبَتَ (sabata, “to cut, smite, cast down”). The root partly overlaps with س ب ط (s b ṭ), which could explain the Maltese a-vocalism. It is likely that the verb was later associated with and influenced by the unrelated Sicilian sbattiri, Italian sbattere.
