I just checked the Index Verborum to the 1911 Oxford Classical Texts edition of the Etymologiae, and pabo is not there either; nor in the OLD. I suspect Lewis and Short found themselves with an index card with an unclear reference and decided to publish it anyways.
I think I even found the source: p. 599 of Wilhelm Freund's "Wörterbuch der Lateinischen Sprache" (1845) has "pabo, pabonis, m. ein einradriges <something I can't read in the original font> 'pabo vehiculum unius rotae' Gloss. Isid." Lewis and Short based their work on Freund.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
