twin词源

twin

twin: [OE] Twin originally meant simply ‘double’, but the specific application to ‘two people born at the same birth’ had already evolved by the end of the Old English period. The word goes back via prehistoric Germanic *twisnaz to Indo- European *dwisno-, a derivative of the base *dwi- ‘double’ (other derivatives formed with the same -n suffix include English between and twine [OE] – etymologically thread of ‘two’ strands).=> between, twine, two

twin (adj.)

Old English twinn \"consisting of two, twofold, double, two-by-two,\" from Proto-Germanic *twisnjaz \"double\" (cognates: Old Norse tvinnr \"double, twin,\" Old Danish tvinling, Dutch tweeling, German zwillung), from PIE *dwisno- (cognates: Latin bini \"two each,\" Lithuanian dvynu \"twins\"), from *dwi- \"double,\" from root *dwo- \"two\" (see two). Minneapolis and St. Paul in Minnesota have been the Twin Cities since 1883, but the phrase was used earlier of Rock Island and Davenport (1856).

twin (v.)
