Schaub, masculine, ‘bundle or truss of straw, sheaf,’ from Middle High German schoup (genitive -bes), masculine, ‘bundle, truss of straw, wisp of straw,’ Old High German scoub, masculine, ‘sheaf, truss of straw’; compare Dutch schoof, Anglo-Saxon sčeáf, English sheaf, Old Icelandic skauf, ‘sheaf’; allied to schieben. Hence Schaub is literally ‘what is gathered together’; akin further to Schober.
