Origin

Late Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French rubbous; perhaps related to Old French robe 'spoils'; compare with rubble. The change in the ending was due to association with -ish¹. The verb (1950s) was originally Australian and New Zealand slang.

This is from Anglo-Norman French rubbous; it may be related to Old French robe ‘spoils’ (see rob). The change in the ending was due to association with words ending in -ish. The verb meaning ‘denigrate’, found from the 1950s, was originally Australian and New Zealand slang. Rubble (Late Middle English) may also be an alteration robe.
