twickv.

Brit.

/twɪk/, U.S.

/twɪk/

Forms: Old English tuiccat (past participle), Old English twiccian, Old English twickian (in derivatives), Middle English twyk, Middle English twykke, 1600s 1800s– twick.

Origin: Probably a word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Probably cognate with Old High German zweckōn to tear off < the same Germanic base as (with different stem class) twitch v.¹In Old English a weak verb of Class II, and hence without the palatalization and assibilation of the stem-final velar seen in twitch v.¹, which is probably the reflex of an unattested weak verb of Class I (Old English *twiccan ). The conventional Old English spelling of the geminate as -cc- is ambiguous. The prefixed form atwiccian to excerpt from a book (compare a- prefix¹) is also apparently attested in Old English (in an isolated occurrence).

Now somewhat rare (chiefly English regional (south-western) and North American in later use).

transitive. To pull (something) sharply or suddenly; to tug, to tweak; to pluck. Also intransitive.
