Etymology
The term 'grubber' originates from the early 19th century and is believed to derive from the verb 'grub', which means to dig or to search for something. Historically, 'grub' was often associated with foraging or scavenging for food, leading to the connotation of a person who is overly assertive in their pursuit of material wealth or resources. The pejorative sense developed over time as the behavior implied by the word became associated with greediness and a lack of regard for others. In contemporary usage, 'grubber' is commonly used in informal contexts, often to describe someone perceived as taking advantage of situations for their own gain.
