a. The central solid part of a wheel from which the spokes radiate, and which rotates on (or with) the axle; the nave. Although used by Blithe in 1649, and (from him) by several 17th cent. writers, and in Bradley's Fam. Dict. 1725 (s.v. Elm), this word appears to have been merely dialectal, being unrecognized by the Dictionaries till the 19th cent., when it appears first in the American Webster (1828) and Worcester (1846). It has received literary currency mainly from O. W. Holmes, and has recently become generally known in connection with bicycles. Forby gives under hob, hub (besides the entry cited below) the alleged meaning ‘the hilt or guard of a weapon’, with which he connects up to the hub, ‘as far as possible’; this phrase is in American use associated with the hub of a wheel, as implying ‘deeply, to a great extent, inextricably involved’.
