Origin

Middle English: from Old French, from Latin concubina, from con- 'with' + cubare 'to lie'.

cubicle from Late Middle English:
A cubicle is now any small partitioned-off area, but at first it was specifically a little place for lying down or a bedroom. The source is Latin cubiculum, from cubare ‘to lie down’, source also of incumbent (Late Middle English). Incubation (early 17th century) is based on the same Latin word, as is concubine (Middle English), originally someone you go to bed with.
