chubn.

Brit.

/tʃʌb/, U.S.

/tʃəb/

Forms: Middle English–1500s chubbe, (1800s chubb), 1600s– chub.

Etymology: Late Middle English chubbe, of unknown origin. Prof. Skeat compares kubb block, log of a tree (which agrees in meaning with sense 3), and other similar Swedish and Danish words: but no phonetic connection between ku- and chu- is known either in Norse or English. See other conjectures in Wedgwood and E. Müller.

a. A river fish (Cyprinus or Leuciscus cephalus) of the Carp family ( Cyprinidæ), also called the Chevin. It is a thick fat coarse-fleshed fish, of a dusky green colour on the upperparts and silvery-white beneath, frequenting deep holes, especially about the roots of trees, and in warm weather rising near the surface.
