Definition
A round metal container or tin, typically used in South Asia for storing food, water, or other goods.
Etymology
From Hindi ḍabbā, ḍobā, possibly from Persian. The word entered English through Anglo-Indian colonial usage and is still commonly used in India and among South Asian English speakers.
Kelly Says
The humble dubba is an unsung hero of Indian life—millions of office workers and school children receive their daily meals in dabbas, delivered by a legendary system of tiffin wallahs (lunch couriers) who rarely lose a single container.
