Походження

Since the early 19th century, of disputed origin. Most commonly thought to be from dibston

Since the early 19th century, of disputed origin. Most commonly thought to be from dibstones (“counters used in a game with the same name”). Also from dib (“to tap”) or related to northern English dip (“small depression in the ground”), or a shortened version of divide.

Borrowed from Arabic دِبْس (dibs).
