Etymology
The word 'sabot' originated from French, where it referred to a wooden shoe. During the Industrial Revolution, workers would throw their wooden clogs, known as sabots, into the machinery to protest or sabotage production. This act of sabotage gave rise to the term 'sabotage' in English, meaning deliberate damage or disruption. Over time, 'sabot' has come to refer to both the wooden shoe and the act of sabotage.
