Morphology

cubdom = cub (transparent) = cub + dom

The meaning 'a group or collection of cubs' follows directly from 'cub' + the suffix '-dom' (collective/state), so learners can infer it.

Etymology

Cubdom comes from cub 'young animal' plus the ending -dom meaning 'group' or 'area', like in kingdom, so it can mean a group or collection of cubs considered as one unit.
