"Zwille" meaning in German

See Zwille in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈtsvɪlə/, [ˈt͡sʋɪlə] Audio: De-Zwille.ogg
Etymology: Sporadically since the 16th century, regular use since the later 20th century. From Low German Twill, Twille, Twele, from Middle Low German twil (“crotch”), from Proto-Germanic *twizlaz, *twizlō, whence also Dutch twil (“kind of lath used in shipbuilding”). Alongside Proto-Germanic *twislaz, *twislō, whence the German doublet Zwiesel and Old English twisla (“bifurcation of a river”). The form Zwille, Zwele exists in a few High German dialects of the Low German borderland. It may have entered standard German thence or directly from Low German. In all these cases the zw- is due to secondary adaptation, perhaps by (etymologically correct) association with zwie-, zwei, Zweig.
