Morphology
TOB = T + O + B
TOB is an initialism (letters) for 'time of birth' and is not built by normal English morphological processes, so knowing component letters does not let a learner derive the meaning.
Etymology
TOB is made from the first letters T, O, B of 'time of birth', so it means the exact time a person was born.
