Several meaning/origins.

1. A corncob: corn on the cob.

2. A male swan.

3. A thickset, stocky, short-legged horse.

4. A small lump or mass, as of coal.

5. A mixture of clay and straw used as a building material

The origin of the building material (adobe) cob is probably from:

COB: a rounded heap or mass; a small heap of anything
