Surface Forms

cuber singular
cubers plural

Morphology

cuber = cube (semi-transparent) = cube + er

The form clearly means 'someone associated with cubes', but the specialized Rubik's Cube hobby sense is not fully predictable from the base alone.

Etymology

Cuber comes from cube and the ending -er meaning 'one who does', so a cuber is 'one who solves cubes'. This fits someone who solves puzzle cubes, like a person who solves a Rubik's Cube in a competition.
