Etimología (Inglés)

Cognado con noruego nynorsk: tvirla

Cognado con alto alemán antiguo: dweran

Cognado con alemán: zwirlen

Cognado con neerlandés: dwarrelen

Cognado con islandés: þyrill

In summary

Of Scandinavian origin, akin to Norwegian Nynorsk tvirla, Old High German dweran (German zwirlen, quirlen), Dutch dwarrelen and Icelandic þyrill; all from Proto-Germanic *þwirilaz (“stirring-stick, whisk”), *þweraną (“to stir”). Or, an alteration of tirl (“to twist”), with influence from whirl.
