Plumb as in "Plumb a door frame or cabinet?" Plumb is having something 90 degrees to level. The floor is level and the door frame, the vertical, up and down part is plumb in relationship to that. I'm sure this term comes from using a Plumb Bob. That's a heavy pointed ball on a string.. It will always show you the plumb line.
Haven't heard the term used in Plumbing.
