Etymology edit
From Middle High German zuo, from Old High German zuo, from Proto-Germanic *tō.
All monosyllabic function words in -éi, -ou (déi, méi, wéi, sou, wou, zwou) have an unstressed pronunciation in [i], [u]. These are normally not reflected in the spelling. The forms zou (adverb) and zu (preposition) are an exception, probably because of the contractions zum, zur, and the corresponding German zu.
