Etymology
The origin is uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *th₂-dʰlom, from *teh₂- (“to stand”) (a variety of *steh₂- without s-mobile, whence also Latin stō, stāre (“to stand”)) + *-dʰlom (“instrumental suffix”) whence Latin -bula. The original meaning would then be “that which stands”, for which see also Latin stabulum.
