† tewtawn.

Forms: Also 1700s tewtow, 1800s dialect tewter.

Etymology: Goes with tewtaw v.If the noun was the earlier, its derivation would probably be < tew v.¹ + taw n.², or tow n.¹ = ‘that which tews taw or tow’; but if the verb was the earlier, taw n.² would naturally be the verb, and tew either tew n.¹ or some other word. The origin of the second element was apparently lost before the word became tewter. Johnson knew only the verb which he considered a reduplicated form of tew.

Obsolete.

An implement for breaking hemp or flax.
