An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Stüber

by Friedrich Kluge

Stüber, m., Nasenstüber, m., ‘fillip,’ ModHG. only, allied to LG. stubben, ‘to push.’ In the sense of ‘stiver’ (a coin), the word, which first occurs in ModHG., is obscure; it is, however, met with as Du. stuiver and Swed. styfver.
