Etimologie (Engels)
From Middle High German zwec, zwic (“nail, pin made of wood or iron”), from Old High German zwec, zwecki (“nail, peg”), from a root probably related to Zweig (“branch, twig”); this is supported by Kroonen, though Pfeifer is skeptical and leaves the origin open. Cognate to Swedish svicka, svick, svicke, Danish svik, suicke, Norwegian svikk, Middle Low German swick, svik. Also German zwecke, zwicke. The sense of purpose stems from an older sense were Zweck had the bi-sense of the central point of a target, thus: target, goal, objective, direction → intention, function, purpose. Also, compare 'nailing something to a wall'.
