If you enter 'sabbath' in Wikipedia, you'll get either a page with several options and the the general definition

"A Sabbath is a regular (usually weekly) time of rest, worship, and/or special activity, observed by any of several religions and traditions."

or the more specific page that starts with

"Sabbath or a sabbath is generally a weekly day of rest and/or time of worship observed in Abrahamic religions and other practices. Many viewpoints and definitions have arisen over the millennia.
