来自希伯来语，义为神秘的，词源同Cabala. 现词义来自于17世纪英国历史上组成阴谋集团的五个大臣姓名首字母缩小(Clifford, Arlington,Buckingham,Ashley,and Lauderdale)
英文词源
- cabal (n.)
- 1520s, "mystical interpretation of the Old Testament," later "society, small group meeting privately" (1660s), from French cabal, in both senses, from Medieval Latin cabbala (see cabbala). Popularized in English 1673 as an acronym for five intriguing ministers of Charles II (Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley, and Lauderdale), which gave the word its sinister connotations.
