同一個鳥叫聲,這次被平台借走了:短短一句話就像鳥叫一聲,所以那種訊息叫 tweet,發訊息的人就是 tweeter。
noun · B2

A small bird on a wire, letting out one thin high note. Add -er to that sound and you get a name for whoever or whatever makes it. Every use of the word is a different thing standing on that wire: a bird, a small speaker doing the high notes, a person sending short messages into the air.
The source gives the word simply as tweet + -er, so the bird sound sits at the centre and the other uses are that sound handed to a machine and then to a person.
來源資料寫的是 to tweet + -er,所以鳥叫聲就是這個字的中心。後面兩個用法,是把同一個聲音交給機器,再交給人。
Wiktionary etymology supplied in this packet: "From to tweet + -er." (source_ref kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:967349086)
