A dialectal or obsolete term whose meaning is unclear, possibly related to fishing or regional terminology in older European languages.
Unknown origin; may derive from Romance language roots or regional fishing terminology, but historical documentation is insufficient to establish a clear etymology.
Some words just fade into obscurity—'cabda' is so rare that you might find it once in a historical dictionary and never encounter it again, and trying to figure out what it means is like linguistic archaeology, where you're looking for clues in old texts written by people who assumed everyone would just know what it was.
