Etymology number: 2

Noun [Dutch]

IPA: /spɪts/ Audio: Nl-spits.ogg Forms: spitsen [plural], spitsje [diminutive, neuter]
Rhymes: -ɪts Etymology: Back-formation from spitsuur, but especially avondspits and ochtendspits, which are themselves shortenings from avondspitsuur and ochtendspitsuur. Around 1940 the term spits (“peak”, etymology 2) was also commonly used for annual peak traffic during the summer holiday, which is another likely influence for the shortened form. The use of the article de (earlier used for avondspits and ochtendspits) rather than het (used for spitsuur) was influenced by etymology 2.
