The word derives from Old English "sabat", from Old French "sabbat", from Latin "sabbatum", from Greek "sabbaton" (or sa`baton), from Hebrew "shabbat" - to cease or rest - the same roots as "Sabbath (Christian)" or "Shabbat (Judaism)".
It was used during the European witch trials for supposed gatherings of witches engaging in Devil worship; such gatherings were earlier referred to as "synagogues of Satan".
