覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
stubb は現代標準綴り stub の古い・方言的な異綴りで、語末の b が二つでも意味は「切った後に残る短い部分」。tree stump より小さな残片、pencil stub、cigar stub、ticket stub などの組み合わせで覚える。通常の作文では stub を選び、原文引用や姓では綴りを変えない。
Read stubb as a historical or dialectal spelling of modern stub. The doubled final b does not create a different everyday meaning: the core image is a short remainder after the larger part has gone. Think of a pencil stub, a cigar stub, or the part of a tree left after cutting. In present-day general writing, choose stub. Keep stubb only when reproducing an older source, representing a dialectal form, or preserving a proper name such as Stubb. Compare stump, which most commonly names the rooted base of a felled tree.

stubb の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 stubbr(切り株)に由来し、古英語 stubb も同源。木を切った後に残る根元部分を指す。関連語: stubble(刈り株)、stubborn(頑固な=切り株のように動かない)。「残った短い部分」が原義で、チケットの半券なども指す。
Stubb and modern stub continue a Germanic word for a short, projecting remainder, related to Old Norse stubbr and forms recorded in Old English. The concrete reference was a stump or truncated piece, from which English developed uses for cigar ends, pencil ends, ticket portions, and other remnants. The spelling with one final b eventually became standard, while stubb survived in older texts, dialect, and names.
