Origin

Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French, from Latin stabilis, from the base of stare 'to stand'.

The French word estable, from which we get stable, could refer to a shelter for pigs as well as one for horses, and in English a stable originally housed any domestic animal. Stable meaning ‘firmly fixed’ is a quite different word, that goes back to Latin stare ‘to stand’. The saying shut (or lock) the stable door after the horse has bolted—take preventive measures too late, once the damage has already been done—dates back to medieval times, though until the late 19th century it specifically referred to horse-stealing and was used in the form shut the stable door after the steed is stolen, as in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped (1886): ‘A guinea-piece…fell…into the sea…I now saw there must be a hole, and clapped my hand to the place…But this was to lock the stable door after the steed was stolen.’ See also constable
