strub
To rob, plunder; clear out completely; to strip.
"[…] I mind a year ago, when I found a gladdy's nest and strubbed it, he catched me blowing the eggs to put along with others for a necklace for Jonathan French's sister, and, if he could have done it, he'd have given me a proper hiding."
Where it comes from
Origin obscure. Perhaps from Middle English strupen, a variant of strepen (“to strip, rob, plunder”), from Old English *strȳpan (attested in Old English bestrȳpan (“to strip, rob, spoil, bereave”), whence English bestrip). More at strip.
