== Usage in the Netherlands ==

In [[Dutch language|Dutch]], the word ''kabaal'', also ''kabale'' or ''cabale,'' was used during the 18th century in the same way. The ''Friesche Kabaal'' (Frisian Cabal) denoted the [[Frisians|Frisian]] pro-[[House of Orange|Orange]] nobility which supported the ''stadholderate'', but also had great influence on ''[[stadtholders]]'' [[William IV, Prince of Orange|Willem IV]] and [[William V, Prince of Orange|Willem V]] and their regents, and therefore on the matters of state in the [[Dutch Republic]].<ref>see ''[[:nl:Fries Cabaal]]''</ref> This influence came to an end when the major Frisian nobles at the court fell out of favor. The word nowadays has the meaning of noise, uproar, racket.<ref>see ''[[:nl:kabaal]]''</ref> It was derived as such from French and mentioned for the first time in 1845.<ref>[https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sijs002chro01_01/sijs002chro01_01_0035.php?q=kabaal#hl1 Kabaal] in: DBnl.org</ref>
