Spaweck
Luxembourgish
editEtymology
editPossibly an alteration of *Spawepp, from Old High German spinnūnwebbi (compare German Spinnwebe); or a blend of the former with *Spawierk (compare dialectal German Spinnenwerk). In the contemporary form analysable as Spann (“spider”) + Weck (“bread roll, clump of dough or butter”), but this seems semantically far-off.
