Shabbat: means rest, and it is the seventh day of the week.
Shevah: means 7, also connected with 'shavuah' (week-7 days), shavuot (lit. weeks). Also 'shvuah' - oath.
Shav: to return.
The seventh day of the week serves as a 'return' to the first of the following week, following a cycle. In the Biblical tradition, it is the day of rest and 'return' to the Creator.
Have a meaningful Shabat!
