Stable
\Sta"ble\, n. [OF. estable, F. ['e]table, from L.

[1913 Webster]
Stable fly (Zo["o]l.), 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]
