Morphology

cubdom = cub (transparent) = cub + dom

The meaning 'state or period of being a cub' corresponds directly to the abstract/state sense of '-dom' added to 'cub'.

Etymology

Cubdom comes from cub 'young animal' and -dom 'state' or 'period', similar to boredom, so it can mean the time or state of being a cub, for animals or members of youth groups.
