Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French -labe.

Etymology: < Middle French, French -labe (in e.g. astrelabe astrolabe n.) < ancient Greek -λάβος (in e.g. ἐργολάβος contractor), in Hellenistic Greek also -λάβον (in e.g. μεσολάβον mesolabe n.) < λαβ-, stem of λαμβάνειν to take, of uncertain origin.Compare classical Latin -labus (in e.g. mesolabus mesolabe n.), post-classical Latin -labium (in e.g. astrolabium astrolabe n.). Attested in a small number of words. Earliest in borrowings from French, as astrolabe n. (14th cent.), cosmolabe n., mesolabe n.
