From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (“to fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese 崩 (MC pong, “to collapse, crumble”).[1]

  1. to lose, fail
    Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
    Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class

Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.
