词源：
twig(n.)Old English twig “slender shoot; small, supple branch of a tree,” from Proto-Germanic *twigga “a fork” (source also of Middle Dutch twijch, Dutch twijg, Old High German zwig, German Zweig “branch, twig”), from PIE *dwi-ko-, from root *dwo- “two.” Compare Old English twisel “fork, point of division.” Figurative use is by mid-14c., “offshoot” of vice, sin, etc.
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
