Etymology 2[edit]

Alternative spellings
波布
飯匙倩

Borrowed from Okinawan 波布 (habu, pit viper), where this kind of snake is native. Appears to be cognate with Japanese (hebi, snake, depending on dialect, hebi may refer specifically to non-venomous snakes), and related to verb 食む (hamu, to bite).[4]

First cited in Japanese to a text from 1795.[5]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

ハブ (habu

  1. 波布, 飯匙倩: Trimeresurus flavoviridis (now Protobothrops flavoviridis), a species of venomous pit viper native to Okinawa

Etymology 3[edit]

Shortening of noun form 省き (habuki, omission), in turn from verb 省く (habuku, to omit).[8]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

ハブ (habu

  1. (informal) someone who is left out of a group
Usage notes[edit]

May be used in a verb construction as ハブする (habu ni suru, to leave out of a group, literally to treat as an omission).[8] Alternatively, the derived verb ハブる (haburu) may be used instead.[9]
