† scribn.¹

Forms: 1600s scrib, 1600s scribbe.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: scrub n.¹; scribe n.¹

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps a variant of scrub n.¹ (compare sense 5a, and perhaps also sense 4b, at that entry), although such a variant would be surprising from a phonological perspective; or perhaps a variant of scribe n.¹, although scribes appear not to have been commonly associated with miserliness.

Obsolete.

Perhaps: a miser.The meaning in quot. 1608 is unclear; this section of the text contains numerous compositorial errors. Perhaps cf. bonny scrubs in quot. 1719 at scrub n.³
