From Old French rebec, from Arabic رَبَاب (rabāb). Doublet of arrabil and arrabel.

Charles Murray, Música: descubra as conexões através de perguntas e respostas, Callis Editora, page 17

The rebec that appeared around the 10th century was the first “violin” with a bow and a wooden or iron endpin that rested on the floor. The 3 strings were played with a bow. The first European “violin”, used in the Middle Ages, was small and pear-shaped - a variation of the rebab - an Arabic instrument.

A rabeca que apareceu por volta do séc. X foi o primeiro “violino” com arco e um espigão de madeira ou ferro que assentava no chão. As 3 cordas eram tocadas com um arco. O primeiro “violino” europeu, usado na Idade Média, era pequeno, em forma de pêra - uma variação do rebab - um instrumento árabe.

2010, Umberto Eco, Idade Média Bárbaros, cristãos e muçulmanos, Publicações Dom Quixote, page 846

In reality, the rebec is not a work of carpentry, but carved from a piece of wood; it is also played with a bow and has three strings.
