Why is there a "b" in doubt?

Title:
Why is there a "b" in doubt?
Speaker:
Gina Cooke
Description:

Say the word "doubt" aloud. What is that "b" doing there? Does it have any purpose? Gina Cooke explains the long and winding history of "doubt" and why the spelling though it seems random is a wink to its storied past. [Directed by David Bernal, narrated by Gina Cooke].
