We assume the question refers to the Hebrew word pronounced "shah-BAHT" in the

Sephardic dialect of Hispanic and north African Jews, and pronounced "SHAH-boss" in

the Ashkenazic dialect of Eastern European Jews.

The word originates in the Torah, as the name of the seventh day set aside for spiritual

reflection, in commemoration of the seventh day of Creation.

The Hebrew word entered English, by Way of King James' translation commission, as "Sabbath" .
