Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈta.bʊ.ɫa]

From Proto-Italic *taθlā, with pre-form something like *th₂-dʰlo-, of uncertain origin. * Some connect it with taberna; * Some refer it to Proto-Indo-European *tal-dʰleh₂, from *telh₂- (“flat”); * Some refer it to Proto-Indo-European *th₂-dʰleh₂, 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.
