The word stibble does not have an established etymology as it is not widely recognized or found in dictionaries. It appears to be a regional or dialectal term that is used in some areas, especially Scotland and Ireland, to refer to small pieces of straw or stubble. As such, it is likely that the word's origin is tied to these regions and may have emerged from local dialects or variations of older words related to straw or grain stubble. However, without further historical records or research, it is challenging to determine a definitive etymology for the word stibble.
