Word Origin & Etymology
Formed in the 19th century from the imitative verb "tweet" (representing a bird's chirp) and the agentive suffix "-er"; the audio loudspeaker sense was coined in the late 1920s by analogy with the high-pitched sounds of birds, and the social media sense emerged in the late 2000s.
