Sabots (pronounced "Sa-BOE") are a type of wooden footwear, that were worn in France, on Earth, especially during the 19th century. In etymology, the term "sabot" is the root for the word "sabotage".
When the USS Enterprise-A was being ordered back to Spacedock following the capture of James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy, Valeris recalled a story to the senior staff: "400 years ago, on Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened, flung their wooden shoes called "sabots" into the machines to stop them. Hence the word "sabotage"." Her story was a suggestion of deception, that Uhura used to falsely report back to Starfleet that "we experience technical malfunction. All back-up systems inoperative."
