- It has been possible to dub someone a knight since the Norman Conquest: the king conferred the rank by ceremonially touching the person being honoured on the shoulder with a sword. The word dub came from a shortened form of Old French adober meaning ‘to equip with armour’ or ‘to repair’. The sense of giving an unofficial title, name, or nickname to someone developed from this ritual conferring of a knighthood.Since the 1920s to dub a film has been to provide it with an alternative soundtrack, now usually in another language. Dub is also a kind of reggae music in which some vocals and instruments are removed and the bass guitar accentuated. In these uses dub is a shortening of double ( see two).
