tweedn.

Brit.

/twiːd/, U.S.

/twid/

Etymology: A trade name originating in an accidental misreading of tweel, Scots form of twill n.¹ (or a misunderstanding of an abbreviated tweeled twilled adj.¹), helped by association with the River Tweed. The form appears to have originated in or about 1831, but published statements are not quite in accord as to the circumstances which gave rise to it. The more important of these accounts are to be found in Jas. Locke's Tweed & Don (1860) 37, in a paper by D. Watson in Trans. Hawick Archæol. Soc. (1868) 14, and in A. Barlow's Weaving (1878) 49. Barlow and others attribute the misreading of the word to Jas. Locke himself (who was a London merchant), but Locke in his own book does not claim to have been the originator of the name, which had become fully current by 1850.

A twilled woollen cloth of somewhat rough surface, and of great variety of texture, originally and still chiefly made in the south of Scotland (usually of two or more colours combined in the same yarn); inferior kinds are made of wool with a mixture of shoddy or cotton. In plural, cloths or garments of this kind.
