Etymology
The French noun *tube* is a direct borrowing from Italian *tubo*, itself derived from Latin *tūbulum* (from *tūbus* “pipe, pipe‑like tube”). It entered French in the early 16th century to denote a long, narrow hollow cylinder, and later expanded to include any cylindrical or tube‑shaped object.
