stobn.¹

Brit.

/stɒb/, U.S.

/stɑb/, Scottish English

/stɔb/

Forms: Also 1600s–1800s stobb.

Etymology: Partly a variant (sometimes merely graphic), partly a cognate, of stub n., see for the etymology. (It seems impossible accurately to separate the two words, as they appear always to have been to a great extent synonymous; the examples written with o are therefore placed here, even when it is not unlikely that they properly belong to stub n.) Compare stab n.²

Now only Scottish and dialect.

†1.

a. A stump, portion remaining after mutilation.
