History
Borrowed from Russian чмо́бик (čmóbik), itself a blend of чмо (čmo, “scoundrel”) + мо́бик (móbik, “poorly-trained Russian conscript soldier”), as if an abbreviation of части́чно мобилизо́ванный (častíčno mobilizóvannyj, “partially-mobilized”); itself a reference to the term части́чная мобилиза́ция (častíčnaja mobilizácija, “partial mobilization”) used by Russian media when referring to the 2022 Russian mobilization for the invasion of Ukraine.
