Etymology 1 edit

Related with Middle Low German besubben (to soil, sully, bedabble), dialectal Swedish subba (to soil), perhaps also sabbern (to dribble, slaver). Further possibly onomatopoeic, but also comparable with the root of Saft, English sap, or that of Sieb, Seife, English sieve, soap, seep. With regard to the latter, compare especially Dutch sijpelen (to trickle, seep, drip) and similar verbs in Low German dialects. If not original relation, at least semantic interference between these stems seems very likely.
