Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic изъба, истъба (izŭba, istŭba), from Proto-Slavic *jьstъba, which may be related to Proto-Germanic *stubō (room, sitting room, oven) or to French étuve (heated room, bathroom), itself from Latin *extupāre.
The phonetic transition /стъб/→/зб/ is associated with the simplification of the combination /стъб/→/сб/ after the fall of the reduced vowels and voicing /сб/→/зб/, compare transition /сд/→/зд/ in здоро́вый (zdoróvyj) from съдоро́въ (sŭdoróvŭ).
