Etymology
1. Of unknown origin shared with Spanish zapato and French sabot and savate and Sicilian savatta. Possibly from Tatar чабата (çabata, “overshoes”), ultimately either from Ottoman Turkish چاپوت (çaput, çapıt, “patchwork, tatters”), from Ottoman Turkish چاپمق (çapmak, “to slap on”), or of Iranian origin, cognate with modern Persian چپت (čapat, “a kind of traditional leather shoe”).
2. The bread type and the meaning power strip are built upon analogy as something long and thin of comparable size to the shoe-wear. See: Spanish Nouns '
zapato', French Nouns '
sabot'.
