The word Noob comes from a time when all games came in boxes, in 2004 downloading of large game over a few megabytes was unheard of. So if you wanted a large game like World of Warcraft back in 2004 when it launched, you had to bought a physical copy that came in a box, Wow's original size was 10 gigabytes, & would have taken weeks to months to download.
An acronym is a specific type of abbreviation that forms a pronounceable word from the first letter of each word in a phrase. And this is where we get the word Noob from, it is a acronym.
The word NOOB is a acronym, & in World of Warcraft, it was easy to spot a Noob from the endless amount of questions they'd spam in chat. This is where telling people online to "Google it" came from, since WoW had a lot of FAQ posts.
And we'd jokingly ask, "so this is a guess, but are you new to the game?", and they would replay with something like, "how did you guess, yes it's new out of the box". And like with all commonly said phrases on the internet, it was shortened to just NOOB, 'N'ew 'O'ut 'O'f 'B'ox.
NOOB is mean for people that do not know how to play because they just got the game. Someone that has played for months and still plays badly, isn't a NOOB. One is ignorant & doesn't know how to play & the other is indifferent & never bothered to care if they became better at the game, or it could be a lack of skill.
Today I find it amazing how few people remember where NOOB started, & what NOOB really means.

We were all a NOOB at one time, so give them a break. Attention NOOBS, we have a FAQ that should answer most of your questions. FFXIV patch 6.0 was amazing, wish I could be a NOOB & play that part over again & it would be new to me.

A noob is short for Newbie, it typically is the title given to a player new at any video game. Often times this title is misused as a stupid person in games because they don't quite know the basics of the game just yet.
Jimmy: C'mon noob! Come at me bro!
Noob: Okay, where's the X button on this?
Jimmy: You don't know anything about a PS4, do you?
Noob: Nope.

Noobs are an annoying species that humans can develop into and lack capability of about anything except being bad. They won't admit their mistakes and call other people either hackers or noobs. They are so dumb they insult their own species.
It is generally advised to stay away from them
Noobs are most common on the internet and are not really found in real life. You should not talk to one if you encounter one and only report them for their toxic behaviour and not because you hate them. Some of them are actually nice and others are just bloodsucking leeches who are trying to ruin the game until no one wants to play it anymore.
If a person has bad grammar but are nice and will fix their mistakes, those are newbies. Newbies are less picked on because they are willing to fix everything they can and will put all their effort into trying to become better meanwhile noobs won't do anything to even make themselves look or seem decent. They can be funny and you can make memes about them.
Noobs are either a kid or a fat person who sits on the computer all day long and know that even though they are going down in popularity, status, decency, and common sense, they are willing to infect others with their disease that was invented by the new arising species of noobs. If you expose them and their pranks on your group they will start judging you and insult everything around them.
