Etymology: "Sabirs" is the plural of "sabir," which names a simplified trading language, or lingua franca, once spoken around the Mediterranean. Its name is usually traced to the Romance verb "saber," meaning "to know," in the sense of a speech that lets people understand one another. The language drew mainly on Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, mixed with Greek, Arabic, and Turkish elements, and it was used in ports and markets for centuries. The plural form "sabirs" would normally refer to more than one such language or variety. It does not mean patience or endurance, so the meaning given with this request does not match the word.

Synonyms: pidgins, lingua francas
