spin: [OE] Spin is a general Germanic word, with relatives in German and Dutch spinnen, Swedish spinna, and Danish spinde. It goes back ultimately to a prehistoric Indo-European base *spen- or *pen- ‘stretch’ which also produced English span, Lithuanian pinti ‘plait’, and Old Church Slavonic peti ‘stretch’. English words derived from it or its immediate Germanic ancestor include spider, spill ‘slip of wood’, spindle [OE], and spinster [14] (originally a ‘female spinner’, and not used as a designation of an unmarried woman until the 17th century).
