Talk:squab

I know we cannot wholesale import copyrighted material, but I found a great etymology for this word...can we use some of the information if we change the phrasing of our explanation to ensure that we don't plagiarize?
 * 1682, "very young bird," earlier (1640) "unformed, lumpish person" and used at various times for any sort of flabby mass from sea slugs to sofa cushions; probably from a Scand. word (cf. dialectal Swed. skvabb "loose or fat flesh," skvabba  "fat woman"), from P.Gmc. *(s)kwab-  (cf. O.Pruss. gawabo  "toad," O.C.S. zaba  "frog").
