Best Answer

The English word "sabbath" is one of the many words that came to English from Hebrew,

by way of King James' translation committee.

The original Hebrew word is pronounced "shah-BAHT". Included in it are elements of the concepts

of "seven" and "pause" or "rest".

Whatever the word "sabbath" means to you is evolved from the Hebrew concept of Sabbath.
