different between sibling vs subling
sibling
English
Etymology
1903, modern revival of Old English sibling (“relative, a relation, kinsman”), equivalent to sib +? -ling. Compare Middle English sib, sibbe (“relative; kinsman”), German Sippe. The term apparently meant merely kin or relative until the 20th century when it was applied in a way that aided the study of genetics, which led to its specialized use. For example, the OED has a 1903 citation in which "sibling" must be defined for those who don't know the intended meaning.
