助記提示


1. PIE base *twi- "two", from root of two => twist, tweak, twitch, twig.
2. 扭東西時(shí)其實(shí)就是兩端朝兩個(gè)相反的方向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng),所以意思就是由此引申而來的。

中文詞源


twist 旋轉(zhuǎn),轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng),纏繞,捻

可能來自 two,二,-st,表反復(fù)。引申詞義纏繞在一起,旋轉(zhuǎn),轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)等。

英文詞源


twist
twist: [OE] Twist appears to come ultimately from prehistoric Germanic base *twi- ‘double’, which also underlies English twice, twig, twin, etc. In Old English it is found only in compound words, denoting such things as ‘rope’ (presumably originally made from ‘two’ strands) and ‘forked objects’. It does not appear as an independent word until the 14th century, by which time its association with ‘rope’ had given it the sense ‘wrench, wind’.
=> two
twist (n.)
mid-14c., "flat part of a hinge" (now obsolete), probably from Old English -twist "divided object; fork; rope" (as in m?sttwist "mast rope, stay;" candeltwist "wick"), from Proto-Germanic *twis-, from PIE root *dwo- (see two). Original senses suggest "dividing in two" (cognates: cognate Old Norse tvistra "to divide, separate," Gothic twis- "in two, asunder," Dutch twist, German zwist "quarrel, discord," though these senses have no equivalent in English), but later ones are of "combining two into one," hence the original sense of the word may be "rope made of two strands."
