An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stüber

by Friedrich Kluge

Stüber, masculine, Nasenstüber, masculine, ‘fillip,’ Modern High German only, allied to Low German stubben, ‘to push.’ In the sense of ‘stiver’ (a coin), the word, which first occurs in Modern High German, is obscure; it is, however, met with as Dutch stuiver and Swedish styfver.
