Etymology 1

From a Late Old English (11th century) word dubban (“to knight by striking with a sword”) perhaps borrowed from Old French aduber, adober (“equip with arms; adorn”) (also 11th century, Modern French adouber), from Frankish *dubban, from Proto-Germanic *dubjan? (“to fit”), from Proto-Indo-European *d?ewb?- (“plug, peg, wedge”).

Cognate with Icelandic dubba (dubba til riddara). Compare also drub for an English reflex of the Germanic word.
