Origin Old English twengan 'pinch, wring', of Germanic origin. The noun dates from the mid 16th century. thong from Old English: Thong is related to twinge (Old English), which originally meant to pinch. In Anglo-Saxon times a thong was a shoelace. It then came to be used for any narrow strip of leather, and finally to any thin strip of material, from which came the modern use for minuscule underwear in the 1970s.
