1505-1515

1885-90. Imitative; see also flub, flubdub.

From a shortening of the word double.

From Celtic; compare Irish dobhar (“water”), Welsh dŵr (“water”).

From shortening of double dime (“twenty”).

From dup (“to open”), from do + up, from Middle English don up (“to open”).

Clipping of Dubliner.

From Middle English dubben, from Old English dubbian (“to knight by striking with a sword, dub”) from Old French adober (“to equip with arms; adorn”) (also 11th century, Modern French adouber), both from Proto-West Germanic *dubbōn, from Proto-Germanic *dub- (“to hit, strike”), from Proto-Indo-European *dhewbh- (“plug, peg, wedge”). Cognate with Icelandic dubba (in dubba til riddara). Compare also drub for an English reflex of the Germanic word.
