cub

Young wild offspring

A cub is the young of several large animals, especially the bear.

Cub is also used to characterize a smaller, younger, or less developed version of other things, such as a Cub Scout (too young to be a Boy Scout), a cub reporter (new to the profession), or a small aircraft called a Piper Cub.

Cub is also used as an affectionate term for young men and boys.
