Words like "climb," "numb," "thumb," "limb," and "plumb" have a silent "b" due to their etymological roots in Old English and other languages. The "b" was pronounced in earlier forms of these words but gradually became silent over time as the language evolved. This phenomenon, known as consonant loss, often occurs in English, particularly with certain letter combinations. The silent "b" contributes to the unique spelling and pronunciation of these words today.
