Stable \Sta"ble\, n. [OF. estable, F. ['e]table, from L.
   stabulum, fr. stare to stand. See Stand, v. i.]
   A house, shed, or building, for beasts to lodge and feed in;
   esp., a building or apartment with stalls, for horses; as, a
   horse stable; a cow stable. --Milton.
   [1913 Webster]

   Stable fly (Zool.), a common dipterous fly (Stomoxys
      calcitrans) which is abundant about stables and often
      enters dwellings, especially in autumn; called also
      biting house fly. These flies, unlike the common house
      flies, which they resemble, bite severely, and are
      troublesome to horses and cattle. They differ from the
      larger horse fly.
      [1913 Webster]
