Most simply, from a late Proto-Indo-European *kewb- (‘to recline’); cognate with Latin cubō (‘lie down, recline’), Latin cubitus (‘elbow, bend, arch’), Proto-Celtic *kuxsketi (‘to sleep’). Compare however Proto-West Germanic *hubil (‘bump, hill’), *hump (‘hump, hunch’), Danish huv (‘hull’) and English hub, hob, all of uncertain origin. Has been compared to Proto-Germanic *huppōną (‘to hop’), for a pre-Germanic or Proto-Indo-European root “to bend”, which has been reconstructed in various ways.
