Etymology
The phrase "fer-ne cabal" comes from Catalan, where "fer" means to do or make, and "ne" is a pronoun referring to 'of it' or 'about it.' "Cabal" in this context means proper or exact. Together, they literally convey 'to make proper use of it' or 'to pay due attention.' Did you know that the word "cabal" shares roots with the English word 'cabal,' but here it carries a very different, positive meaning related to adequacy or sufficiency?
