Background / Comments
My guess at the meaning of the word was pretty close to the first two definitions; however, the third meaning was entirely unknown to me. The root word is the Latin fabula (conversation; story), which is the same root as the word “fabulous” and “fable”. This explained the third meeting.
First usage
This word came into English in the early 1600s
