tube: [17] The ultimate origins of tube are unclear. It comes, probably via French tube, from Latin tubus ‘tube’. This was closely related to tuba ‘war trumpet’, source of English tuba [19], but what their joint ancestor might be is not known.

The meaning "TV as a medium" is from 1959, short for cathode ray tube or picture tube. Tube top as a women's clothing style is attested from 1972. Tube steak is attested from 1963 as "frankfurter," slang meaning "penis" is recorded by mid-1980s.
