Etymology
Cognate with Lithuanian stùburas (“spine, stalk”), Latvian stuburs (“pole”). Further origin unclear.
Snoj suggests a relation to Proto-Germanic *stubbaz (“stump”) (probably from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewbʰ- (“to pound”)) and speculates that it may descend from the root of *stoborъ (“column, pole”) (< Proto-Indo-European *stebʰ- (“to stay still”)).
