    It’s when a knight is dubbed. They kneel before the king/ queen, apparently

      Ooohh!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard that word used in any context/conjugation other than the specific phrase

      Spoiler

      "I dub thee ‘Sir whatsit’ "

      Or maybe that same sentence in past tense (“dubbed”).

      I’ve definitely never heard it conjugated in present continuous. But it stands to reason that it would be a word.

      Thanks!
