Uncertain. Orel suggests a borrowing from Bulgarian сапът (sapǎt, “axe-handle”), which does not account for its prevalence in both dialects. Meyer suggest an indirect borrowing from Vulgar Latin *sappata from Latin sappa (“mattock”), comparing it with Romance descendants Italian zappa (“hoe”), French sape (“scythe, hoe”), Romanian sapă (“hoe, mattock”). Topalli suggests a possible borrowing from Italian spada (“sword”), contaminated by shpatë (“sword”).
