Etymology of SQUIBBED

The word "squibbed" is derived from the noun "squib".

"Squib" originated in Middle English, coming from the Old French word "esquibe" or "skive". It is believed to have been influenced by the Old Norse word "skvipa", meaning "to spurt out". In its earliest usage, "squib" referred to a small firework or explosive device that made a hissing sound.

Over time, the term became more figurative and was used to describe a short, satirical piece of writing or a brief, sarcastic remark. The verb form "squibbed" derived from this noun, indicating the act of writing or making a squib.

Today, "squibbed" can still refer to the creation of a short, witty piece of writing or the act of producing something brief and sarcastic, typically in response to a larger work or event.
