This word has no etymology. What is this reference to Korean? It is nothing else than hocus-pocus. — This unsigned comment was added by Drago (talkcontribs) at 15:47, 21 April 2006.

It already has. No reference to Korean is possible. Bogorm 16:59, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

..."some other animals"? edit

Well, up to now I thought a cub is indeed exactly the young of a bear, fox, wolf or lion and of no other animals. Whoever wrote this, couldn't we specify those "other animals" instead of giving some intransparent, non-descriptive explanations? -andy 77.190.8.126 06:18, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Possible missing sense edit

Can't a cub also be a newbie, someone who is green or inexperienced (rather than merely young)? Equinox 10:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Possible etymology split needed edit

The senses of "cupboard" (noun) and "shut away" (verb) seem that they might come from cupboard and thus require a separate etymology section. I'm not certain. Equinox 23:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
