Etymology of SQUABBISH

The word "squabbish" does not have an established etymology as it appears to be a relatively rare and informal term. It is likely a derivative of the noun "squabble", which means a quarrel or argument. The suffix "-ish" is often added to words to indicate a resemblance or characteristic of something, so "squabbish" could be understood as having traits or tendencies related to squabbling. However, it should be noted that "squabbish" is not a widely recognized or widely used term, so its etymology may not be well-documented.
