Origin: (from etymonline.com)

"'larva of an insect,' early 15c., perhaps from grub (v.) on the notion of 'digging insect,' or from the possibly unrelated Middle English grub 'dwarfish fellow' (c. 1400). Meaning 'dull drudge' is 1650s. The slang sense of 'food' is first recorded 1650s, said to be from birds eating grubs, but also often linked with bub 'drink.'"
