tavern: [13] Tavern comes via Old French taverne from Latin taberna ‘hut, inn’, a word possibly of Etruscan origin. Derived from taberna, in the sense ‘hut’, was the diminutive form tabernāculum ‘tent’, which was borrowed into English as tabernacle [13]. Its original application was to the tent which according to the Bible covered the Ark of the Covenant. => tabernacle
tavern (n.)
late 13c., "wine shop," later "public house" (mid-15c.), from Old French taverne (mid-13c.) "shed made of boards, booth, stall," also "tavern, inn," from Latin taberna "shop, inn, tavern," originally "hut, shed, rude dwelling," possibly [Klein] by dissimilation from *traberna, from trabs (genitive trabis) "beam, timber," from PIE *treb- "dwelling" (cognates: Lithuanian troba "a building," Old Welsh treb "house, dwelling," Welsh tref "a dwelling," Irish treb "residence," Old English eorp "village, hamlet, farm, estate").
