Etymology

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰ- (“to whisk, smoke, obscure”), which may be an extension of Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“to whirl, waft, stink, shake; steam, haze, smoke”), and compared with Ancient Greek τῡ́φω (tū́phō, “to smoke”) (though Orel is skeptical of this derivation).[1] Other theories include derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *stewbʰ- (“to drive about”), and comparison with Ancient Greek στυφελίζω (stuphelízō, “to strike hard, dash, beat, drive away”).[2]

However, Kroonen prefers to derive the word from a Proto-Indo-European *tsewbʰ- (“to fly about”), with the same metathesis from Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Germanic as seen in *stelaną (“to steal”), and compares Lithuanian siaũbti (“to dash about”).[2]
