Zobel, masculine, ‘sable (Mustella zibellina), sable-fur,’ from the equivalent Middle High German zobel, masculine; borrowed from Russian sobol (compare Danish zobel). From the same source are derived Middle Latin sabellum (Old French sable, English sable) and sabellinus, whence Italian zibellino, Spanish zebellina, French zibeline.
